The South Korean national football team, set to compete in the 2026 North, Central America, and Caribbean World Cup, held training on the 23rd, one day before the South Africa match, at the University Stadium in Monterrey, Mexico.

Players, including captain Son Heung-min, approached training with bright expressions, easing the tension.

Following the training, at an official press conference held at the Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, Mexico, head coach Hong Myung-bo stated, "Honestly, I was not very familiar with the history of the youth quarterfinal miracle. I would be truly happy if this final match for the squad becomes a joyful opportunity and a history like 1983. I hope Monterrey will be remembered as a place that offered another great gift to Korean football."

Kim Min-jae, South Korea's top center-back, who attended the press conference, said, "South Africa has players with individual skills and speed. We are preparing well for that part," and added, "If the team performs as well as in the previous two matches, we should be able to win," reaffirming their determination to win.
