Korea used Bae Jun-ho (Stoke City) and Uhm Um-seong (Gwangju) as substitutes in the second half, but failed to score additional goals.
Coach Hwang Seon-hong, the head of the Olympic team, was unable to participate in this tournament as he took on the role of temporary coach of the A national team whose head coach position was vacant due to the dismissal of former coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
Instead, head coach Myung Jae-yong will lead the Olympic team. Eight countries participate in the WAFF U-23 Championship: Korea, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Iraq, Australia, and Egypt. It will be held in a quarterfinal tournament format, with each team playing three matches. Winners and losers compete against each other to determine rankings from 1st to 8th. Korea, which defeated Thailand, will face Saudi Arabia, which defeated Jordan, on the 23rd. The final ranking match will be held on the 26th. Meanwhile, Korea, which is attempting to qualify for the Olympics for the 10th time in a row, will participate in the U-23 Asian Cup, which also serves as the final Olympic qualifier, to be held in Qatar in April after completing this tournament. 안전 토토사이트
