The South Korean and Czechoslovak national teams will test their experience against each other when they clash in the 2026 World Cup in their first Group A match at the Akron Stadium, Guadalajara.
The match was an important start for both teams considering they will next meet hosts Mexico and South Africa.
South Korea still relies on captain Son Heung-min as the driving force of attack, supported by Lee Kang-in and Hwang Hee-chan.
The former Tottenham Hotspur player, who now plays for Los Angeles FC, has emphasized his ambition to take South Korea as far as possible in this World Cup, while also opening the competition with a positive result.
However, South Korea face a slight obstacle after young midfielder Bae Jun-ho is doubtful due to an ankle injury.
The 22-year-old's absence could reduce the Taegeuk Warriors' midfield options.
South Korea comes with 11 appearances on the international football stage.
Their best achievement was a fourth-place finish at the 2002 World Cup.
