Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

My Football Facts ⇒ Articles

By Jonathan Lewis | 25th Jan 2024

The Korea Republic football team – also referred to as the South Korea football team – boasts a storied past and an ardent group of supporters; indeed, experts predicted that 61.5% of South Koreans said they wanted to watch the FIFA World Cup 2022 to see their national team play, while 13.2% of South Koreans had planned to watch the event live in Qatar!

Spanning from their inaugural match in 1948 to their triumphs in the FIFA World Cup, we’ve collated seven intriguing details about this remarkable team from South Korea – that only ‘true’ fans will be familiar with.

7 Interesting Facts About the South Korea Football Team

Betting in The K-League is Popular Among South Koreans

Football betting is widely enjoyed by South Koreans, particularly when it involves the K-League. As the premier professional football league in South Korea, the K-League attracts a significant number of fans who eagerly wager on their beloved teams and players. South Koreans have access to various betting platforms and bookmakers that offer K-League betting options, making it convenient for them to participate in this popular activity.

In its essence, football betting not only enhances the thrill of the games but also fosters greater involvement and enthusiasm. When the Korean Republic is also representing the nation in worldwide games, citizens of the country enjoy proudly placing wagers on their country’s team.

South Korea Played its First Game on July 6, 1948

The inaugural match for the South Korean football team took place on July 6, 1948. Competing against Mexico in the London Olympics, they emerged triumphant with a 5-3 victory. This significant win signified the commencement of South Korea’s venture into the realm of international football… a venture which has undeniably improved greatly in the last few years.

South Korea’s Most Expensive Player is Heung-min Son

Widely recognised as one of the greatest football players from South Korea in history, Heung-min Son is presently an active member of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League. Renowned for his exceptional speed, skill and proficiency in scoring goals, Son achieved the distinction of being the most expensive South Korean player, as he joined Tottenham in 2015 for a staggering transfer fee of £22 million ($28 million).

… who is also the captain of UK team, Tottenham Hotspur

Furthermore, not only is Heung-min Son the priciest South Korean player, but he also holds the prestigious position of captain at Tottenham Hotspur.

This remarkable feat not only highlights Son’s exceptional abilities but also showcases the immense talent and leadership qualities of South Korean footballers on a global platform. Maybe this is why polls have shown that 34.6% of South Koreans plan to only watch the games of their national football team!

They’re the most successful Asian football team ever in the FIFA World Cup

The FIFA World Cup has witnessed the South Korean football team’s formidable performance; with ten qualifications to the tournament and a remarkable semi-final appearance in 2002 as co-hosts with Japan, they have established themselves as the most successful Asian team in World Cup history.

In the previous World Cup in Qatar, despite having to bow out of the competition after a 4-1 round-of-16 defeat, the team performed remarkably well – not to mention their players’ faces became a whole lot more recognizable on the world stage…

The Team is Commonly Nicknamed the “Reds”

The South Korean football team is often known as the “Reds” because of their traditional red jerseys. In South Korea, the colour red carries cultural importance and is frequently linked to passion, energy and determination; the team’s nickname symbolizes their unwavering spirit and the unwavering backing they receive from their enthusiastic supporters.

South Korea is Currently Ranked 26th in the FIFA World Ranking

The South Korean men’s soccer team has made significant progress in the latest FIFA world ranking, securing the 26th position. Their remarkable improvement of 13 spots from 2018 to 2019 and their outstanding performance at the 2022 Qatar World Cup have propelled them back into the top 30 countries.

This ranking is a testament to their consistent performance and competitiveness on the global stage. With a talented squad and committed coaching staff, the team remains determined to achieve further success and ascend in the rankings.

Final Word

In conclusion, the South Korean football team has a rich history, talented players and a passionate fan base. Unsurprisingly, this has led to football being regarded as the most popular sport in Korea; a 2021 poll showed that a plurality of 25% of Korean sports fans identified football as their favourite sport!

From their success in the FIFA World Cup to their popular league and iconic nickname, the South Korean team continues to make an impact in the world of football. Whether you’re a fan of Korean football or simply interested in the sport, these seven facts provide a glimpse into the fascinating world of the South Korean football team.
