Welsh Football Association (FAW) President Noel Mooney has expressed his excitement about facing Klinsmann in the September A-Match.
On September 28, the FAW announced on social media that it will play a friendly against the Welsh national team at Cardiff City Stadium on September 7 during the upcoming A Match. This is the first time in a long time that the Korean national soccer team has played a match away from home in Europe, and it will be a great tune-up for the Klinsmanns as they look to surpass their 2023 AFC Qatar Asian Cup victory.
The Welsh are also excited about the match. According to Welsh media outlet The Nation, Welsh Football Association president Noel Mooney said, “A lot of European teams are playing Euro 2024 qualifiers. “It’s not always easy to get a test against a 메이저사이트 strong team at a time when you can play friendlies,” he said. “It’s good for us to play South Korea, who have a lot of quality players like Son Heung-min, who plays alongside Ben Davies at Tottenham Hotspur.
“South Korea had a really good tournament at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. They reached the round of 16,” he said after introducing Korean soccer, “It’s important to test ourselves by playing against a different style of soccer. South Korea is a team that gives us that opportunity. I’m sure we’ll have a great crowd of fans there to support us,” he said.
From a Welsh perspective, South Korea will be a great sparring match. Wales are tied with Croatia at the top of Group D in Euro 2024 qualifying with one win and one draw. As they look to qualify for another major tournament, the Welsh will need to step up their game. The next game for the Welsh is against Latvia on September 11. The game against Korea will be a good opportunity for Wales to look at the team’s problems against Latvia.
