South Korea vs Czech Republic FIFA World Cup 2026 Group A match: Asian giants South Korea will face off against Czech Republic in the second fixture of Group A in the FIFA World Cup 2026 at the iconic Estadio Zapopan at Guadalajara in Mexico on Thursday night. South Koreans are entering into the World Cup after a dominant run in the AFC Qualifying stages after going unbeaten in their 16 matches and only conceded 8 goals in these matches.
Czechia, on the other hand, qualified in second place behind powerful Croatia in their UEFA group and were forced into the Playoffs. They managed to edge past Republic of Ireland and Denmark via penalties to qualify for FIFA World Cup 2026.
The Koreans will bank on experienced LAFC forward Son Heung-min and Paris Saint-Germain’s Lee Kang-in. Heung-min has admitted that the FIFA World Cup 2026 could be his final appearance in the tournament. The 33-year-old is keen to replicate the results achieved by South Korea – when they reached the semifinals – on home soil in 2002 World Cup.
“This could be my last World Cup. I’m hoping for a wonderful journey,” Son said in an interview with FIFA. “The World Cup was the biggest reason for my transfer. I want to have another great World Cup,” he said about his move to LAFC.
The South Korean skipper admitted that he will have a major role to play if his side hope to progress in FIFA World Cup 2026. “I don’t think it’s something that can be done by the team alone. Everything really has to come together as one. The words of the Korean people really give the players great strength,” Son said.
The biggest threat for Korea will come aerially from the Czechia side. Patrik Schick and Tomáš Chorý—at 6’3” and 6’6” respectively and could prove to be major concern for the Asian side.
