The national team will face Uruguay in the first leg, Ghana in the second leg, and Portugal in the third leg.
Against Uruguay, he had the experience of winning the evaluation match in October 2018, right after the launch of the Bentuho, and he had the experience of fighting on an equal footing in the 2010 World Cup South Africa round of 16 match, even though they lost 2-1.
Ghana is considered an opponent that must be defeated to advance to the round of 16.
Portugal, which will face each other in the third leg, is the home country of the national football team coach Bento.
We have good memories of winning the third round of the 2002 World Cup group stage.
At that time, Korea won 1-0 thanks to the winning goal of Park Ji-sung after beating Portugal, where Bento and Figo played, and secured their first place in the round of 16 in history.
This year, the 22nd FIFA World Cup, will be held in Qatar's eight stadiums from 21 November to 18 December.
Korea, which has entered the finals of the World Cup for the 10th time in a row and 11th World Cup since 1986 in Mexico, is challenging to advance to the round of 16 for the first time in 12 years since South Africa in 2010, which reached the round of 16 for the first time in the history of away events.
