Interim head coach Roberto Moreno (Spain) of the national football team will watch in person the matchup between Incheon United and Jeju SK.

Head coach Moreno visited Incheon Football Stadium on the 24th at 2 p.m. to watch in person the Hana Bank K League 1 2026 Round 33 match between Incheon and Jeju, which is being held there.

Head coach Moreno is set to announce the national team roster for the November matches against Saudi Arabia and Qatar at Korea Football Park in Cheonan, Chungnam Province, on the 29th.

The K League 1 regular season final round is taking place before the Lee Nal-eun (CEO) team roster announcement, but Head coach Moreno chose to watch the Incheon-Jeju match among the games being held simultaneously at six stadiums nationwide.

Based on the four-match A international series in September last month, the only player called up by Head coach Moreno was Incheon center-back Kim Gun-hee. However, Kim Gun-hee did not play a single minute during that four-match series. No Jeju-affiliated players were selected for the senior national team during Moreno's first tenure.

Head coach Moreno is expected to directly assess the performance of players in the candidate pool for the November national team roster, including Kim Gun-hee, while watching the match between the two teams today.

Previously, on the 9th, national team goalkeeper coach Nico Bosh and coach Jo Yong-hyung also visited the same venue to watch in person the match between Incheon and Pohang Steelers.

The Moreno squad will play a two-match away friendly series against Saudi Arabia on the 13th of next month and Qatar on the 17th in Doha, Qatar.

This is the final friendly before the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup scheduled for January next year, and also the last two-match friendly series under Head coach Moreno's contract.
