Robert Moreno (49), interim head coach of the South Korea national football team, will visit the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Elite (ACLE) venue alongside his entire coaching staff to inspect players.
The Korea Football Association announced on the 15th that Coach Moreno will watch the 2026-2027 season ACLE League Stage 1 matches: Daejeon Hana Citizen vs. Kyoto Sanga at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 15th, and Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors vs. Kashima Antlers at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 16th.
Accompanying Moreno for this on-site inspection are Spanish coaches Eduardo Docompo (senior coach), Xavi Magriña, Victor Bravo de Soto, Javier Chocaro (physical coach), and Nico Bosch (goalkeeper coach), along with Korean staff including Coach Jo Yong-hyung, physical coach Lee Jae-hong, and the entire squad's performance analysis team.
The key inspection targets are Kim Bong-soo (Daejeon), Song Beom-geun, Kim Tae-hyun, and Cho Wi-je (all from Jeonbuk), who were included in the A-match call-up list for September and October announced the previous day.
Through the association, Coach Moreno stated, "I aim to directly experience Korean football culture and stadiums, and see the play of selected players with my own eyes," adding that "watching potential candidates beyond the existing roster who could become national team resources is also a goal."
Meanwhile, Moreno's squad will gather at Cheonan Korea Football Park on the 21st to begin their first training session. Following this, they will play four consecutive friendly matches: against Ecuador at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 24th, Uruguay at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 28th, Venezuela at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on October 2, and Uzbekistan at Yongin Mir Stadium on October 6.
