The list of Austria, the opponent of the South Korean national soccer team's warm-up match, has been announced. A large number of players playing in the European big leagues have been listed on the national team list.

On the 17th (Korea Standard Time), the Austrian Football Association announced the list of national teams to play against Ghana and Korea in the A-match warm-up match in March on its official channel. South Korea and Austria will clash in Vienna, Austria, at 3:45 a.m. on the 1st of next month. South Korea is ranked 22nd and Austria 24th in the FIFA rankings.

Coach Ralf Rangnick joined a large number of key players, including Real Madrid's David Alaba, Konrad Leimer (Bayern Munich), Marcel Javicher (Dortmund), Kevin Danso (Tottenham Hotspur), Marco Arnautovic (Zrvena Zvezda), and Michael Gregorisch (Auxburg). In addition, players who chose Austrian nationality, such as Carney Chukuehmeka (Dortmund) and Paul Barner (PSV Eindhoven), have also joined the national team.

Of the 28 call-up list, 14 are from the German Bundesliga, and most of them are European big league players, including two each from Spain's Primera Liga and Italian Serie A and one from England's Premier League.

Coincidentally, there are many teammates from the current national team, including Seol Young-woo in Arnautovic, Kim Min-jae in Rhymer, and Lee Jae-sung in Mainz05. Son Heung-min (Los Angeles FC) is also expected to face his former Tottenham teammate Danso for the first time in a long time.

However, Alaba and Maximilian Woeber (Verder Bremen) joined the team in an injured condition, and it is unclear whether they will play. Ahead of the two consecutive games against Ghana and South Korea, coach Rangnick said, "We want to further develop our game strategy and game philosophy. The first players to join this time should also learn this, he said. "There is no reason to change the four-back defense in terms of basic tactics. We very much prefer to stick to the proven tactics that have led us this far," he said.

This is the first time that South Korea and Austria have clashed. For Hong Myung-bo Team, the match against Austria is meaningful compared to the winner of the UEFA playoff pass D (Denmark, Czech Republic, Ireland, and North Macedonia), the opponent of the World Cup. Prior to the match against Austria, South Korea will play its first warm-up match in March at 11 p.m. on the 28th in Côte d'Ivoire and Milton Keynes, England.
