TEAM OVERVIEW
East Meets West
Korea Republic has undergone a fascinating tactical transformation under Hong Myung-bo’s leadership since 2024. The legendary former defender prioritizes deep crosses, tenacious counter-pressing and an overloaded attacking scheme, bridging the discipline typical of Asian soccer with European technical sophistication.
Peak Performance
Korean support is highly performative, with choreographed dances and constant chanting featured at stadiums across the country regardless of the score. No wonder the Red Devils (the official name of Korea’s fan group) create an elite atmosphere, from their sea of signature red clothing to the hypnotic rhythm of the five thunderous claps that follow each chant of “Dae-Han-Min-Guk!” (“Republic of Korea!”).
The Son Rises in America
At 34, Son Heung-min approaches what may be his final World Cup as the undisputed king of Asian football. The Premier League Golden Boot winner and first Asian player to score 100 Premier League goals remains Korea's creative heartbeat and clinical finisher. Messi may garner more headlines than LAFC’s newest star, but Son’s likely last ride is a massive moment for Korean fans.
Giant-Killers Ride Again
While 2022’s Round of 16 appearance broke an extended knockout drought, the Red Devils will be hoping for a repeat of Korea’s 2002 triumphant showing on home soil. Then, the Taeguk Warriors dispensed with three global superpowers in Italy, Spain and Portugal, becoming the only team from Asia to ever reach the semis?
