CLUB INFORMATION

Korea Republic are now experienced World Cup entrants having been to each of the last six tournaments.

Their greatest moment was undoubtedly their fourth-place finish in 2002, the tournament they co-hosted with Japan, when the magic of Dutch coach Guus Hiddink saw them upset the global applecart.

A repeat performance is not out of the question, but they are not quite the potent outfit they were eight years ago.

Nickname: Taegeuk Warriors
Honours: 1956, 1960 Asian champions
Previous World Cup appearances: 7 (1954, 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006)
