Klinsmann will kick off on the 12th and play at the 2023 Asian Cup, which will run until the 10th of next month in five cities and nine stadiums in Qatar.

Korea won two consecutive Asian Cup titles at the first Asian Cup championships held in Hong Kong in 1956 and the second Asian Cup championships held in Korea in 1960, but ended up as runner-up four times (1972, 1980, 1988 and 2015). Korea is aiming for the Asian Cup at this year's event for the first time in 64 years.

In this Asian Cup, key players such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) played on the world's best stage, raising expectations for the championship.

The national team gathered in Seoul on the 26th of last month to focus on indoor training, and left for the United Arab Emirates on the 2nd of this month to complete the last-minute soothing process. European players, including Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in, also joined the team and completed the actual inspection through the final warm-up match (Korea 1-0 win) against Iraq in Abu Dhabi on the 6th.

Team Korea, which belongs to Group E, will play its first match against Bahrain on June 15, followed by Jordan on June 20, and Malaysia on June 25. The team will engage in its first training session since arriving in Qatar on June 11 in local time.
