The confrontation between Lake Bento and the Japanese soccer team and a friendly match between Korea and Japan will be held on the 25th in Yokohama.

I am interested in seeing overseas players including Son Heung-min in the Korea-Japan friendly match held in 10 years.

On the 25th, the Bento will play an expedition evaluation match against Japan, the’rival of fate’.

The venue is the Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan, the venue of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup finals, as well as the two previous Korea-Japan matches.

The problem of self-isolation, which was the largest variable, has been resolved.

The Korea Football Association has completed consultations with the government so that K-League players can return to their teams after being group quarantined at the Paju Training Center for a week after returning to Korea.

The Football Association has officially requested the selection of a national team from European players, including Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, and Hwang Eui-jo.

<이정섭 / 대한축구협회 경영본부장> “As the friendly match between Korea and Japan, scheduled for March 25th, has been confirmed, an official letter requesting the selection of players has been delivered to the club.”

However, it is unknown whether overseas players will join.

This is because the International Football Federation allows the team to refuse to draw an A match if the self-isolation period exceeds 5 days.

Bento’s captain Son Heung-min is convincing the Tottenham club by saying that the typical British quarantine period is 10 days, but elite athletes have a precedent for reducing it to 5 days.

Whether or not other overseas players are selected depends on the team’s will.

Bentoho, who lifted the championship cup with a victory against Japan and Korea in the East Asian Cup in December 2019, will unite again on the 22nd with the aim of winning a friendly match in 10 years this time.
