Korea Republic and Gambia will battle for all available points in a FIFA U-20 World Cup match in Group F.
The Gambians have already booked their spot in the knockout round and need just a point to guarantee a top-spot finish in the group. Similarly, South Korea need a point to cement themselves in 2nd position and book their place in the next round.
🗣️ "Our target has to be the 2026 World Cup. We have a good chance to do very well."
The Gambia's senior coach, Tom Saintfiet, told me.
The U20 team has just beaten France at the U20 World Cup and is top of Group F. Really exciting generation.

South Korea U20 vs Gambia U20 Preview
South Korea
The Republic of Korea is coming off a 2-2 draw with Honduras on Thursday, where David Ruiz opened the scoring in the 22nd minute and was later red-carded. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Honduras doubled their advantage six minutes into the second half. However, Kim Yong-Hak and Park Seug-Ho scored within four minutes to ensure spoils were shared in that centre.
With qualification now in sight for the Koreans, another stalemate will just be it for them in this game.
