Football history: South Korea broke African ground in 1986 and shocked the world in 2002 as co-hosts, reaching the semi-finals under Guus Hiddink.

Current coach: Hong Myung-bo (returned to the role in 2024)
Key player to watch: Son Heung-min — Tottenham captain, three-time Premier League golden boot contender, the face of Korean football.
Best World Cup result: Semi-finals — 4th place at 2002 (South Korea/Japan)
