The South Korea national football team has a 91.22% chance of advancing to the 2026 World Cup round of 32. Korea won its first group stage match against the Czech Republic 2-1, but lost its second match to host Mexico 0-1, resulting in a record of one win and one loss. Mexico has secured the top spot in Group A with two wins, while Korea is in second place. The fate of Korea's advancement to the round of 32 depends on the result of its final group stage match against South Africa. If Korea draws against South Africa, it will secure second place in the group and advance to the round of 32. Even if Korea loses to South Africa, it can still advance to the round of 32 as the third-place team in the group if the Czech Republic fails to beat Mexico. However, if the Czech Republic beats Mexico and Korea loses to South Africa, Korea will be eliminated from the tournament. Opta has predicted that Korea's opponent in the round of 32 will be Switzerland, assuming Korea finishes second in the group. Switzerland is currently in second place in Group B with one win and one draw, but trails host Canada in goal difference. The Korean national team had a recovery training session on the 20th and took a full rest on the 21st. On the 22nd, the team will travel to Monterrey, Mexico, where it will play its final group stage match against South Africa, and begin preparing for the match. The match between Korea and South Africa is scheduled to take place on the 25th at 10:00 AM Korean time at the Monterrey Stadium in Mexico.
