The Korean National Football Team will face Wales as their first opponent away from home under new manager Jurgen Klinsmann. The Taeguk Warriors vs Wales game will be on September 7 in Cardiff City.
According to sports news reports, it will be the first game for the Taeguk Warriors in Europe since March 2018. During that time, Korea played against Poland and Northern Ireland. Unfortunately, Korea lost both games.
The friendly match against Wales will be during FIFA’s international window. Therefore, aside from the game against Wales, the Korean football team will have another friendly. However, the opponent for the second game is still uncertain.

Most European nations will be involved in 2024 Euro qualifications around that time. Thus, it’s unlikely that they’ll face a European team in the second friendly. In addition, Korea and Wales will meet for the first time in September’s friendly match.
After qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in 64 years, Wales finished in second place in their group but were eliminated in the round of 16. According to sports wagering reports, they are now rated 26th in the FIFA rankings, one spot above Korea. However, they were quarterfinalists at Euro 2016 and made it to the round of 16 in Euro 2020.
The international friendly in September will most likely involve the involvement of Welsh superstars like Aaron Ramsey of OGC Nice and Ben Davis of Tottenham Hotspur, who play for the same team as Son Heung-min. However, despite this, one of the greatest Welsh players in the history of the sport, Gareth Bale, announced in January that he would be retiring from soccer and hence will not be taking part.
Before getting back together in September, Korea will host two friendlies against Peru and El Salvador in June. However, according to betting odds experts, the kickoff time for the friendly versus Wales at Cardiff City Stadium has not yet been confirmed.
