If Hwang Seon-hong achieves this goal, Korean soccer will achieve the great feat of advancing to the Olympic Games 10 times in a row for the first time in history.

According to AFC, Coach Hwang said at a pre-press conference held on the 15th, “All teams in our group are strong.

“I admit that we are in the group of death,” he said.

“The first game is important.”

“We have to give everything,” he emphasized.

Hwang Sun-hong was placed in Group B with UAE, Japan, and China.

Coach Hwang said, “We will play every game as a team.

We will do our best throughout the competition.”

Until just before the competition, Coach Hwang suffered from difficulties in recruiting overseas players.

Coach Hwang initially called up Kim Min-woo (Düsseldorf), Yang Hyun-jun (Celtic), Jeong Sang-bin (Minnesota), Kim Ji-soo (Brentford), and Bae Jun-ho (Stoke City) as overseas players. Due to opposition to selection, joining was not possible.

Regarding this, Coach Hwang said, "I went to Europe before the tournament and negotiated about the issue of being called up, but (the players) unfortunately did not join the team.

As a coach, I am frustrated and disappointed, but I have various plans. There is no problem."

He added, "I hope that the players will become one team and an organized team through the group stage.

I expect that our players playing in the K-League will show their strengths and abilities throughout the entire tournament."

The UAE's head coach is Uruguayan coach Marcelo Brawli.

Last year, he led the Uruguay U-20 national team to victory in the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Coach Brawley said, “We face a strong team, Korea.

I played against Korea when I was in Uruguay.

I know that team.”

He led the Uruguay A national team to Korea in March of last year as temporary head coach.

Coach Brawley's Uruguay played a friendly against Korea under former Coach Jurgen Klinsmann at the Seoul World Cup Stadium and won 2-1.
