The South Korea national team will host Ecuador in an international friendly on September 24. The match comes as the team seeks to end a run of two consecutive defeats.
South Korea currently sits third in their World Cup qualifying group with three points from three matches. They have scored two goals and conceded three in that campaign. Their most recent outing was a 1-0 away loss to South Africa on June 25, which followed a 1-0 defeat to Mexico.
This friendly is the team's first match since June. Ecuador's last result was a 2-1 win over Saudi Arabia in May. South Korea will look to draw on their positive home form from June, which included wins over Czechia, El Salvador, and Trinidad and Tobago. The team's manager is expected to use the fixture to assess player fitness and tactics. It serves as a key checkpoint ahead of the next World Cup qualifying rounds, with the team's upcoming schedule and current stats providing further context.
