Republic of Korea

The Republic of Korea national football team, known as the Taeguk Warriors, is governed by the Korea Football Association (KFA) and competes in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). The team plays home matches at Seoul World Cup Stadium and wears red.

South Korea co-hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup with Japan and made a remarkable run to the semi-finals — the best result ever by an Asian nation. The team has qualified for every FIFA World Cup since 1986, with appearances including the round of 16 at Qatar 2022. South Korea won the AFC Asian Cup twice (1956 and 1960) and has produced world-class players including Park Ji-sung, Son Heung-min, and Lee Kang-in.
