Soccer International, which tracks the dynamics of South Korean soccer, came out with heavy news on the 26th, as the Korean Football Association (KFA) officially confirmed that the South Korean national soccer team, coached by Paulo Bento, will usher in the challenge of Egypt in an international warm-up match on the 14th of the following month. Following the cancellation of the Argentina warm-up match, the South Korean team has officially locked the last opponent of the four warm-up matches in June.
An anonymous official of the Korean Football Association (KFA) revealed that "both football associations have reached an agreement on the matter and an official announcement on the matter will be made soon."
The soul of the Egyptian national team is none other than Salah, ranked 32nd in world soccer, who has long occupied the top of the Premier League's top scorer list. Especially this season, he had a fierce duel with South Korean player Son in the Premier League, and finally shared the honor of top scorer with 23 goals in the season.
Egypt are 32nd in the latest FIFA rankings, three places below South Korea (29th). South Korea will host Brazil on June 2 at the Seoul International Cup, Chile on June 6 at the Daejeon International Cup and Paraguay on June 10 at the Suwon International Cup. The final match, against Egypt, is expected to be played on the 14th, with the venue likely to be the Seoul International Cup Stadium. (Reporter: Yoo Sui-Tu)
