The national football team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, lost 0-1 to South Africa in the final match of Group A of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup.

Although a draw would have been enough to secure a spot in the Round of 32 as the group runner-up, the team fell to third place after a lackluster performance, leaving them to wait for the results of other groups.

Here is the post-match interview with Jens Castrop, who made his World Cup debut after being substituted in the second half today.
