▲ U-21 National Football Team
The Korea Football Association announced the roster of 26 players for the under-21 (U-21) men's national team today (the 2nd) to play a two-match friendly series against Mexico in November.
Led by head coach Kim Eun-jung, the U-21 national team is preparing for the 2028 Los Angeles (LA) Olympics.
As this friendly series against Mexico will take place during the FIFA international match window in November, the most competitive players for this age group have been selected.
Kim Min-su (Rangers), who was called up to the senior national team between September and October and made his senior international debut, has been included in this Kim Eun-jung squad.
Overseas-based players Yoon Do-young (Magdeburg) and Kim Ye-gun (Red Star Belgrade), who participated in the previous away trip to Australia, have received call-ups once again.
Ha Jung-woo (Suwon FC), Choi Byeong-wook (Jeju SK), and Sung Ye-gun (Bucheon FC), who have been performing well in the K League, were also selected.
The roster consists of 17 players born in 2005, 8 players born in 2006, and 1 player born in 2008.
Kim Ye-gun, born in 2008, is the youngest member of the team.
Head coach Kim Eun-jung said, "Following our away trip to Australia, this is a great opportunity to gain practical experience against strong opponents like Mexico, identify areas for improvement, and take our competitiveness to the next level."
The Kim Eun-jung squad will play the first match against Mexico behind closed doors at 4:00 PM on November 14 at the Cheonan Korea Football Park.
They will then play the second match at 7:00 PM on November 17 at the Cheonan Stadium as an international friendly match for the U-21 national football team invited by Hana Bank.
