Four players who represented Korea at this year's FIFA World Cup will do the same at the upcoming Asian Games.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) on Thursday unveiled the 23-player squads for the men's and women's national teams set to compete at the Asian Games in Japan this fall.
The men's tournament is an under-23 competition, but teams are each allowed to carry up to three players over the age limit.
Korea head coach Lee Min-sung selected three players from the recent World Cup squad as his overage players — Celtic FC midfielder Yang Hyun-jun (24), Swansea City midfielder Eom Ji-sung (24) and Gangwon FC defender Lee Gi-hyuk (26).
