On April 27, the AFC website carried a piece of heavy news: On April 27, Beijing time, our soccer rivals Guam officially announced the hiring of South Korean coach Seo Dong-won to take the helm.
According to the announcement, Seo Dong-won will lead Guam in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar Asian Qualifiers as well as the 2023 Asian Cup Qualifiers in China.
In the face of the new challenge, Seo Dong-won admitted, "Selecting and scouting players in such a tight timeframe is undoubtedly a difficult task, but we are determined to make the best use of the resources available to us to prepare for the upcoming tournament and strive to show the team at its best in next month's tournament."
It's worth noting that Seo Dong-won was previously a longtime head coach of a championship team in the Korean University League and was involved in the preparation of the Korean national team for the World Cup in Russia as a member of the Skills Research Team in 2018.
Currently, Guam's team is in a slump in Group A of the World Qualifying Asia 40, losing all five matches, scoring only two goals and conceding 19. And our national football team will face Guam at home on May 30th. (Details)
