South Africa meet South Korea in a group stage Group A tie at Estadio BBVA in Guadalupe. South Africa return to the World Cup for the first time since hosting in 2010. Under Hugo Broos they have rebuilt a competitive side led by goalkeeper-captain Ronwen Williams. They will look to reach the knockout rounds for the first time in their history.
South Korea arrive with their own ambitions. South Korea are one of Asia's most consistent qualifiers, appearing at every World Cup since 1986. Captain Son Heung-min leads a talented generation that reached the last 16 in 2022. Their best result remains a fourth-place finish as co-hosts in 2002.
