The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, convened at Incheon International Airport Terminal 1 at around 10:30 p.m. on the 10th and headed to Kuwait at around 0:20 a.m. on the 11th. There is no direct flight to Kuwait, so it is scheduled to pass through Doha, Qatar.

On the same day, Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan HD), Kim Kyung-min (Gwangju FC), Lee Chang-geun (Daejeon Hana Citizen), Lee Tae-seok (Pohang Steelers), Lee Myung-jae (Ulsan HD), Lee Ki-hyuk (Gangwon FC), Kim Moon-hwan (Daejeon Hana Citizen), Kim Bong-soo (Kim Chun Sang-bu), Joo Min-kyu (Ulsan HD), and Oh Se-hoon (Machida Zelvia) from J League were on the plane with the coaches.

Overseas players such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord), Lee Jae-sung (Mainz), Seol Young-woo (Zrvena Zvezda), and Bae Jun-ho (Stoke City), who are returning from injury, will head directly to Kuwait.

Hong Myung-bo will play the fifth Group B match against Kuwait in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Jabeur Al-Ahmad International Stadium in Kuwait City, Kuwait, at 11 p.m. on the 14th (Korea time). The match against Palestine in the sixth round, which will be held on the 19th, will be held at the third region, Amman International Stadium in Jordan, due to the influence of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
