Hong Myung-bo will play the 6th away game of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup at Amman International Stadium in Amman, Jordan's capital, on the afternoon of the 19th. The away game against Palestine is held in Jordan due to local circumstances in Palestine. Currently, Palestine is in a state of war after being invaded by Israel. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has decided to host the game in Jordan, a neutral region, not Palestine. Two days before the game, the national team came to Amman on the 17th.
Currently, the national team has won four consecutive games in the third qualifying round. In particular, the last 14 is on a high note with a 3-1 victory in Kuwait's away game. If they catch Palestine, they will cross the eighth ridge of the World Cup finals. Currently, Korea ranks first in Group B with four wins, one draw and 13 points.
The national team did not move to Jordan immediately after winning the match against Kuwait, but remained in Kuwait and continued training. This is because Kuwait's training conditions and weather were better than Jordan's. After training until the morning of the 17th, he moved to Kuwait by chartered plane in the afternoon.
More than 50 local Koreans and fans came to welcome the national team at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Jordan. The players left the airport in their welcome.
The national team will hold an official press conference and training on the 18th, followed by a Palestinian safety match on the 19th.
