The national football team, having failed to advance to the Round of 32 at the 2026 North and Central America World Cup, has left their accommodation in Guadalajara, Mexico, and begun their journey home.

Local Mexican fans gathered in front of the team's hotel to bid farewell to the players, holding signs with messages of support written in Korean.

However, the national team, which finished the tournament in 34th place overall, did not hold an official welcome ceremony and departed for Korea in separate groups.

Head coach Hong Myung-bo announced his resignation, taking responsibility for the team's poor performance, and concluded his tenure with the national team.
