"Korea is a strong team."

Kuwait's national soccer team, led by coach Juan Antonio Fitch, will have an away match against South Korea in Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on Tuesday. Kuwait is the lowest ranking in Group B with five points (five draws and four losses). Regardless of the outcome of the last match, the team has confirmed the lowest ranking. The team has also failed to advance to the World Cup finals, but it is committed to achieving a successful result in the away match.

At a pre-press conference held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 9th, Fitch said, "We used a lot of physical strength for long-distance travel, and we also used a lot of physical strength in the previous game," but added, "Some players have returned. We will be able to show good performance tomorrow." Fahad al-Hazeri, who also attended, said, "Korea is a team with good performance, so we will learn a lot by playing," adding, "We also prepared a lot and trained intensively."

We know it will be a difficult match. Kuwait ranks 134th in the FIFA rankings, 111 places lower than Korea, which ranks 23rd. It has eight wins, four draws and 13 losses in its matches against opponents, including the last five consecutive losses. "I know South Korea is an exceptional and strong team," coach Fitch said, adding, "It's a strong team both personally and teamally."

The praise for Korea continued. "Personally, I think Korea is one of the seven best national teams in the world," Fitch said. "The players are very fast and tactical. They have a lot of experience. I respect Korea and think it is a team that has the best players. There are many outstanding teams in the world. Among them, Brazil, Germany, France, and the U.K. are outstanding. Korea, Japan, and Croatia have also shown great progress recently." 메이저놀이터

Algeria also nodded. "There is a big level difference between Korea and Kuwait. Korea has many players including Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, and Hwang Hee-chan," he said. "They are our competitors, but they have a lot to learn. We will have a good game tomorrow."
