The opening qualification of South Korea will be taking place on September 1 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium as they face off with China.

"I hope many South Korean fans visit the stadium and support us. We will try to balance between offense and defense." South Korea’s Uli Stielike said as he attempted to motivate the supporters of the Korean national side with hopes of seeing more people attending these types of matches.

Among the squad that the tactician of South Korea Uli Stielike, includes players such as: Hwang Hee-Chan, Son Heung-min, Suk Hyun-Jun, Jang Hyun-Soo and Kwon Chang-Hoon. All of these players except for Hyun-Soo and Kwon Chang-Hoon are offensive performers.

"Along with Jang, Hwang was one of the two players who showed consistent performance throughout the Olympics. China is expected to come up with lockdown defense, but even if there's no space for us, I think Hwang can create good chances with his speed and technique."
