The South Korean U23 team will begin their journey to defend their 2023 Asian Games title by facing the Kuwait U23 team in Group E for men’s soccer. This is a golden opportunity for coach Kim Hak Bum’s team to show their strength in the face of much weaker opponents.
The South Korean U23 team is the most successful football team in the history of the Asian Games, winning 5 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 3 bronze medals. At the 2023 Asian Games, they are the defending champion team and their goal is to defend the title they won in Indonesia in 2018. Meanwhile, the Kuwait U23 team only entered the final twice but failed to win gold. The last time was in 1998, or 25 years ago.
The huge difference in performance between the Kuwait U23 team and the South Korea U23 team shows how weak the Kuwait U23 team is compared to the South Korea U23 team. The FIFA rankings of the two national teams also reflect the difference in quality between the two teams. If South Korea is ranked 28th in the world, then Kuwait is only ranked 137th, or a difference of 109 places.
Both teams performed well in the qualifying rounds before taking part in the 2023 Asian Games. South Korea easily beat opponents such as Myanmar, Kyrgyzstan. Kuwait also played quite well by beating Timor Leste, Macau and drawing with Iraq after a fierce match to qualify for the next round as one of the 4 best runner-up teams.
The teams fielded by both teams for the 2023 Asian Games are mostly U23 players. This promises a quality match for the audience. However, the South Korean U23 team has an advantage in terms of class and will be the favorite in this match.
The South Korean U23 team has players such as Lee Kang In, PSG star or Jeong Woo Yeong, Stuttgart striker. These players will make the South Korean U23 team even stronger.
If you don’t underestimate Kuwait, the South Korean U23 team will not have much difficulty winning this match.
