The Korea Republic national football team(Korean: Daehanminguk Chukgu Gukga Daepyo Team) represents the Republic of Korea in international football competitions. The team, also known as South Korea, is recognized as Korea Republic by FIFA.

South Korea has participated in eight World Cup final tournaments and became the first and only Asian team to reach the semi-finals, doing so when it co-hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup with Japan. South Korea is considered as one of the most successful international football teams in Asia. It has qualified for its eighth World Cup final tournament, the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, having been the only unbeaten team during the AFC qualification tournament.^[1] It won the first two editions of the AFC Asian Cup.

World Cup history

South Korea has emerged as a major football power in Asia, winning several prestigious Asian football championships, including the first two Asian Cup tournaments. The South Korean national team has also played in seven consecutive World Cup finals (from 1986), making a total of eight World Cup finals in all.

In their first World Cup finals tournament, the 1954 World Cup as the second Asian team to ever enter the World Cup after the Dutch East Indies, South Korea played games against Hungary and Turkey, losing 9–0 and 7–0 respectively. It took 32 years before South Korea were able to participate in the World Cup finals again, when they qualified for the 1986 World Cup held in Mexico City. They lost 3–1 to Argentina, drew 1–1 with Bulgaria, and lost 3–2 to Italy.

This difficult streak held until the 2002 FIFA World Cup (which it co-hosted with Japan), in which the South Korean national team earned many wins and finished fourth place overall.

2002 World Cup

Led by Dutch coach Guus Hiddink and assistant coach Pim Verbeek, South Korea defeated Portugal, Italy and Spain, then lost 1–0 to Germany in the semifinals, and 3–2 to Turkey in the 3rd place match.

2006 World Cup

During the 2006 World Cup, South Korea achieved their first World Cup victory outside Asia by beating Togo 2–1. They then drew 1–1 against France, but lost 2–0 to Switzerland, which knocked them out of the tournament.

2010 World Cup

South Korea won the 2010 World Cup AFC qualification with 16 points – 7 wins and 7 draws in total – making them the only team unbeaten throughout the whole campaign. They then qualified for the knockout stages of the 2010 World Cup with 4 points, winning 2–0 against Greece, losing 4–1 to Argentina and drawing 2–2 with Nigeria. At the knockout stage they met Uruguay. Luis Suárez scored twice to give Uruguay the lead two times. Lee Chung-Yong scored the equalizer between Suarez´s goals. South Korea was eliminated after this 1–2 loss.
