The South Korea national football team is set to face Mexico in the second match of the group stage at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Son Heung-min shared his thoughts on the World Cup in an interview with BBC Korea. Son Heung-min stated, 'Being part of this global tournament feels like a dream come true again. It's not about how many World Cups I've played in, but about the dream of being a football player.' The South Korea national football team, led by coach Hong Myung-bo, will strive to win against the Mexico national football team at the Estadio Akron in Guadalajara, Mexico, on the 19th at 10 am Korean time. Son Heung-min added, 'This is my fourth World Cup, and it's hard to believe. I've been playing for the South Korea national team for a long time. As I get older, my role is changing. Now, I want to inspire many people, and this is what I've always dreamed of.' South Korea won 2-1 against the Czech Republic, and still has matches against Mexico and South Africa. Son Heung-min cautioned, 'I think every day will be a big challenge. Those teams are very strong, and we will be playing in difficult conditions that we have never experienced before. The high altitude is a reality.' Son Heung-min expressed his strong determination, saying, 'I want to say that everything is possible. I don't want to say where we should stop. I want to keep moving forward as much as I can.'
