[Amman(Jordan) = Reporter Yoon Jin-man of Sports Chosun] Jung Mong-gyu, president of the Korea Football Association, will watch the match against Jordan on the spot.
Chairman Chung appeared with sunglasses on the headquarters of the stands about an hour before the third Group B match against Jordan at Amman International Stadium in Amman, Jordan, at 11 p.m. on the 10th (Korea time).
Chairman Chung, who accompanied Choi Young-il, the vice chairman of the association, greeted officials, including Ali Bin al-Hussein, the president of the Jordan Football Association. After a hug with Al Hussein, we sat side by side and talked for a long time.
Chairman Chung arrived in Jordan on the 9th with soccer fans, reporters, association staff, and agency officials on a chartered plane that the association operated for the first time in three years.
The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, deployed Hwang Hee-chan as a left-side striker in place of the injured Son Heung-min. Hwang Hee-chan leads the attack with Joo Min-kyu Lee Kang-in and Lee Jae-sung.

Hwang In-beom and Park Yong-woo will form a midfield partnership, while Seol Young-woo, Kim Min-jae, Cho Yoo-min and Lee Myung-jae will set up a four-back. Kim Min-jae will temporarily wear the captain's armband on behalf of Son Heung-min. Cho Hyun-woo wears goalkeeper gloves.
After drawing 0-0 with Palestine in the first leg of the third World Cup qualifying round in September, the national team won 3-1 with Son Heung-min's winning goal in Oman in the second leg. He tied Jordan with one win, one draw, and four points, but was in second place with one goal short of scoring multiple points. If he beats Jordan on the day, he can take the lead in the group.
The game on this day has a strong concept of revenge. South Korea failed to win the Qatar Asian Cup semifinal in February by losing to Jordan 0-2, and the confusion continued, with coach Jurgen Klinsmann also being replaced.
