"The South Korea World Cup 2026 squad is beginning to crystallise ahead of the draw for the competition. The Taegeuk Warriors have qualified for every tournament since 1986, with a fourth-place finish in 2002 which they co-hosted their best finish in that time. Across qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, they went unbeaten, with six wins and four draws meaning they secured their place in Canada, Mexico and the United States in the third round."
"It could be a final tournament for Son Heung-min, who is now classed as their best-ever player meaning there's extra pressure on the squad to give him a deserved send-off. Treat yourself to your favourite World Cup 2026 shirt Son now plays in MLS, meaning he'll be playing regularly in the lead up to the tournament, potentially a strategic move to ensure he's at the top of his game heading into tournament."
