MONTERREY, Mexico — Korea arrived at the site of their final group stage match of the ongoing FIFA World Cup in northeastern Mexico on Sunday.
Korean players and their staff checked into their hotel in Monterrey, greeted by dozens of fans at the entrance.
Fans yelled players' names as they entered the hotel, with captain Son Heung-min drawing the loudest cheers.
The Taegeuk Warriors had been training near Guadalajara, south of Monterrey, for the past two-plus weeks, as they played their first two Group A matches there. Korea opened the competition with a 2-1 win over Czechia on June 11 but then lost to the home team Mexico 1-0 last Thursday.
