The jersey numbers for the South Korea U-23 men's national football team, which is aiming for a fourth consecutive Asian Games title, have been revealed for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya (Japan) Asian Games.

The Korea Football Association confirmed and announced the jersey numbers for the 23rd-member Asian Games men's football squad, including three wildcards aged 24 or older, on the 14th.

Bae Jun-ho (Stoke City), who symbolizes the team's ace, was assigned the No. 10 jersey. Wildcard players Yang Hyun-jun (Celtic FC) and Eom Ji-sung (Swansea City) received Nos. 11 and 7, respectively. Another wildcard, Lee Gi-hyeok (Gangwon FC), will wear No. 6 at the Asian Games.

Additionally, forward Lee Young-jun (Grasshopper) was assigned No. 9, Kim Myeong-jun (KRC Genk) No. 18, Lee Hyun-ju (FC Arouca) No. 14, Park Seung-soo (Newcastle United) No. 19, Kang Sang-yoon (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors) No. 13, and Yang Min-hyeok (KVC Westerlo) No. 17. Hwang Do-yoon (FC Seoul) will wear No. 15, and Lee Seung-won (Gangwon) will take No. 8 for the Asian Games.

Defenders include Kim Ji-soo (Brentford) with No. 5, Park Kyung-seop (Incheon United) with No. 20, Park Sung-hoon (Seoul) and Shin Min-ha (Gangwon) with Nos. 4 and 23, respectively. Kang Min-jun (Pohang Steelers) will wear No. 2, Bae Hyun-seo (Gyeongnam FC) No. 22, Choi Seok-hyun (Ulsan HD) and Choi Woo-jin (Jeonbuk) Nos. 16 and 3. Goalkeeper Kim Jun-hong (Suwon Samsung) will take the No. 1 jersey, while Kim Min-seung (Paju Frontiers FC) and Lee Seung-hwan (Chungbuk Cheongju) will wear Nos. 12 and 21 to guard the goal.

Lee Min-seong's team is placed in Group D of the group stage and will face Qatar in their first match on the 15th at 7:30 p.m. at Mizuho Park Rugby Stadium in Nagoya, Japan. They will then play Saudi Arabia at the same venue on the 22nd at 7 p.m. Unlike other groups, Group D consists of only three teams, meaning each team plays just two group stage matches to determine qualification for the quarterfinals. The top two teams from each group advance to the quarterfinals.

The South Korean men's football team has won gold medals in three consecutive Asian Games: the 2014 Incheon Games, the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang (Indonesia) Games, and the 2023 Hangzhou (China) Games. Winning a gold medal in men's football at the Asian Games grants players special military service exemptions.
