The Korea Football Association announced on the 20th that the first match of Group C of the North and Central America World Cup Asian region second qualifying round match against Singapore will be held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 16th of next month.

Korea, led by coach Jürgen Klinsmann, will play its first game against Singapore at home on the 16th of next month and then travel to China for the second game on November 21.

Next year, they will have a home game against Thailand on March 21st and then travel to Thailand on the 26th of the same month. Lastly, they will travel to Singapore on June 6th and play their final match at home against China on the 11th.

The third preliminary round, in which a total of 18 countries will be divided into 3 groups of 6 countries, will be held from September next year.

Starting with the 2026 North and Central America World Cup, the number of participating countries will increase from the existing 32 teams to 48, so the process is expected to be easier compared to the past.

Of the 48 tickets, 8.5 tickets to the World Cup finals are allocated to AFC. Six teams will advance to the finals through the 3rd preliminary round, and the remaining 2.5 teams will be selected through the 4th and 5th preliminary rounds and continental playoffs.
