It is a biennial competition, but this year, the Paris Olympics will be held in July to serve as the final qualifying round for the men's soccer event at the Olympics.
In this tournament, where a total of 16 teams, including the host country Qatar, will be divided into four groups to compete, only the top three teams will go straight to the Paris Olympics finals.
If they finish fourth, they must win a single playoff match against the African Guineas to win a ticket to Paris.
Our national team, led by head coach Hwang Sun-hong, aims to advance to the Olympic finals for 10 consecutive times, but it is expected that it will be a more difficult challenge than ever.
It will face UAE, a powerhouse in the Middle East that does not require local adaptation, and China, which has always been a difficult game due to its unique rough play, in Group B.
Although they defeated them in the final at the Hangzhou Asian Games, they are also waiting for a match between Korea and Japan against their 'enemy' Japan, which recently struggled in the age-specific competition.
If they pass the group stage, they are expected to meet formidable opponents such as Qatar or Australia, which are expected to rank first or second in Group A, in the quarterfinals.
In the midst of difficult matches, our national team also had a bad news that it failed to send key overseas players.
Only two overseas players, Kim Min-woo and Jung Sang-bin, participated in the competition as Yang Hyun-joon, Kim Ji-soo, and Bae Joon-ho's team were finally canceled.
Attention is focusing on whether our national team will overcome the difficult process and continue its history of advancing to the Olympic finals, which has continued since the 1988 Seoul Games.
