Chung Mong-kyu, head of the Korea Football Association (KFA), expressed his feelings about the two consecutive A matches in March through SNS.

The South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, drew 1-1 against Jordan in the eighth Group B match of the '2026 FIFA North-China World Cup Asia Regional Qualifiers' held at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 25th.

The team went ahead by scoring the first goal just five minutes into the first half. Son Heung-min attempted a sharp cross from a corner kick, and Lee Jae-sung finished inundated. However, Al Mardi was allowed to equalize in the 30th minute, and the match between the two teams ended 1-1.

Despite the draw, South Korea maintained its top position in Group B with 16 points after Iraq lost to the Palestinians. However, it had to settle for one point as it drew both Game 7 and Game 8 at home.

"The eighth game ended in a tie, and it's my responsibility as we tied all three of our recent matches," Hong said after the match. "I'm sorry. The players showed good performance even in a short time. I didn't see any bad performance systematically."

"We are not producing results at home, but it is difficult to determine the exact cause. "At home games, I felt that the players were under pressure or the atmosphere was too much to concentrate on. I also have problems with my physical condition. I need to improve my physical condition going forward."

Chairman Chung also watched the match on the day. Following the match against Oman, Chairman Chung visited the stadium to watch the match against Jordan, and encouraged players.

"I watched the men's national soccer team play a match against Oman and Jordan. It is regrettable, but I think our players and the coaching staff will have more regret than anyone else," Chung said on his SNS account on Wednesday. "Our players and the coaching staff, you did a great job performing the game even though it was not in perfect condition. Thank you. I hope that the shortcomings of this match will be supplemented, and the qualification for the North Korea-China World Cup will be confirmed in the June match."

Chairman Chung went on to say, "I would like to thank the 'Red Devils' and soccer fans for their enthusiastic support for the national team even though it is still chilly. We will consult with the officials as soon as possible so that many grateful words from those around us can be applied to the site as soon as possible." 토토사이트

The two consecutive games were the first and second A matches held after Chung's fourth consecutive term was confirmed in the 55th KFA presidential election. Chairman Chung wanted to win two consecutive home games more than anyone else since his fourth consecutive term, but his wish did not come true.
