The South Korea national football team received enthusiastic support from Korean Americans during their first match against the Czech Republic in the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Los Angeles. On June 11, many people wearing red T-shirts gathered at Liberty Park in Koreatown to cheer and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Families with children joined in the excitement, with 11-year-old Kang Rin confidently expressing her hope for a 3-2 victory. Various performances, including traditional dances and K-pop cover dances, added to the cheering spirit. In Northern California, about 100 local Korean residents gathered at the Korean Center in San Francisco to watch the match on a large LED panel. They wore red T-shirts reading 'We Are Korea' and beat traditional drums while chanting 'Dae-Han-Min-Guk.' This passionate display of support from Korean Americans across the U.S. for the South Korea national football team was truly inspiring.
