Son Heung-min's K-League roster to face Tottenham has been confirmed.

On the 23rd, the Korea Professional Football Federation (President Kwon Oh-gap) announced the list of team K-League 'Pick Ten', which will compete in the '2024 Coupang Play Series'. Team K League consists of a total of 22 players, including 1 player under the age of 22 selected by fan voting, 11 players for 'Pan Eleven', and 10 players for 'Pick Ten' selected by the coaching staff.

Earlier, the federation announced the 'Fan Eleven', which won the most votes in each position, including Yang Min-hyuk (Gangwon), Lee Seung-woo (Suwon FC), Cho Hyun-woo, Joo Min-kyu (Ulsan), Cesinha, Hwang Jae-won (Daegu), and Lee Dong-kyung (Kimcheon), who were selected as the 'Couple Young-ple'.

Based on this, coach Park Tae-ha and coach Kim Eun-joong, who lead the team's K-League, selected 'Pick Ten'. 'Pikten' was composed of various domestic and foreign players showing the best skills in each K-League position, and considered the detailed positions of the players and the distribution by team.

The strikers were Andersson (Suwon FC), Ilyuchenko (Seoul), Yoon Do-young (Daejeon), and Jung Jae-hee (Pohang). Ilyuchenko and Andersson are at the forefront of scoring and helping in the K League 1, respectively, while Yoon Do-young and Jung Jae-hee are active as key offensive resources for their teams.

The midfielder was selected as key player Lee Hae-ro (Jeju) of Jeju Jungwon, who showed outstanding skills this season.

Kang Tu-ji (Gangwon), Park Seung-wook (Kimcheon), Yonichi (Incheon), and Lee Myung-jae (Ulsan) were listed as defenders. Park Seung-wook and Yonichi were nominated in the previous selection of 'Fan Eleven' but unfortunately failed in the final result, but they finally joined the team K League under the choice of head coach Park Tae-ha.

Hwang In-jae (Pohang), who drew attention as the first national team member this year, was selected as the goalkeeper. Hwang In-jae plays before the game this season and is playing as the number one contributor to Pohang's lead in the K League 1.

Meanwhile, Ki Sung-yueng and Lingard (Seoul), who were on the final list of 'Fan Eleven', were unable to call up the team K League due to injury. As a result, 4th place Jung Ho-yeon and 5th place Auverdan, who are in the next place in fan-leven midfielder's partial fan voting, were substituted.

The K-League team, which has completed its composition of 22 players, will work with fans through various events such as fan signings, K-League YouTube Live, and soccer clinics at the 「FC 7-Eleven with K-League X Sanrio Characters Pop-up Store」 held at Lotte World Tower in Jamsil, Seoul for two days from the 29th to the 30th, two days before the game.
