ZAPOPAN, Mexico — With their first match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup just around the corner, South Korea trained behind closed doors at their base camp in Mexico on Tuesday.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) also didn't make any player available for media interviews, as the Taegeuk Warriors tried to work on their game without outside distractions.
A KFA official said head coach Hong Myung-bo ran a 90-minute session at Chivas Verde Valle in Zapopan, near Guadalajara, with a focus on set pieces, as well as attacking and defending tactics.
The training facility was heavily guarded by armed military personnel and police officers.
