Team South Korea Background
South Korea national football team will begin its 2022 World Cup tournament against Uruguay on November 24th. The team will follow that up with games against Ghana and Portugal to wrap up group play. South Korea is currently favored in its game against Ghana and is the underdog in the matches against Uruguay and Portugal.
However, the Asian nation has made a habit of pulling major upsets in the group stage. In 2018, the team was ranked 57th when it defeated top-ranked Germany 2-0, which was the biggest upset in terms of ranking differential in tournament history. In 2002, South Korea was ranked 40th in the world when it defeated Italy in the knockout round. At the time, Italy was 34 spots higher than South Korea, which made it the biggest upset in terms of ranking differential in knockout round history.
The Taegeuk Warriors qualified for the 2022 World Cup after finishing second in their group during the Asian regional tournament. This is the 10th straight World Cup finals that the country has participated in after having made only one appearance prior to 1986.

FAQs
Where can I watch South Korea for free in the World Cup?
Unfortunately, your opportunities to watch South Korea play at this event for free are relatively limited in the group stage although the team’s first two contests will be on Telemundo. However, that necessitates you being near a Telemundo affiliate. Its third match, against Portugal on December 2, is scheduled to be on Fox as well as Telemundo, but those channel assignments could change. However, any further contests beyond that point would be on both.
When was the last time South Korea won the World Cup?
Although South Korea has never won the World Cup, it had a memorable run to the semifinals that captivated the country in 2002. Each of those matches was played at home in a WC that was co-hosted with Japan. Otherwise, the country has only escaped the group stage once, in 2010. That team finished second in a group that featured Argentina before falling to Uruguay, 2-1, in the round of 16.
Can I listen to South Korea in the World Cup on the radio?
SiriusXM is providing radio broadcasts of every match of this competition, not just South Korea’s, with the vast majority of them on channel 83 and eight on channel 157. South Korea’s match with Portugal on December 2 is the only one of its contests that might be on the latter outlet. Commentary for each of these broadcasts is being delivered by FOX Sports. WC-related talk shows are also available to listen to.
When did South Korea qualify for the World Cup Qatar 2022?
South Korea punched its ticket and started looking for airline tickets to the Middle East on February 1, 2022. In fact, the team was already in that region, just 400 miles from Qatar. It had defeated Syria, 2-0, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, to clinch a top-two finish within its group and that ticket. That marked its 10th straight qualification. In its next match, it knocked off eventual group winner Iran, 2-0, in Seoul.
Who is the captain of Team South Korea?
Team South Korea’s captain is Son Heung-min. The 6-foot forward has donned his national team’s kit on more than 100 occasions while he has also done the same for Tottenham Hotspur‘s more than 200 times. Meanwhile, the rest of his club career has also been spent in Europe, for Hamburger SV’s main and second teams and Bayer Leverkusen’s senior side. His combination of speed and finishing skill makes him a valuable commodity on the pitch.
