The Korea Republic (South Korea) national football team represents South Korea in international association football and is controlled by the Korea Football Association.

South Korea is Asia's most successful team and has participated in eight consecutive and nine overall World Cup tournaments. South Korea became the first Asian team to reach the semi-final stages when they co-hosted the 2002 tournament with Japan. They also won the first two editions of the AFC Asian Cup, though they have since been unable to be victorious.

The team is commonly nicknamed "The Reds" by both fans and the media due to the color of their primary kit. This is led to the creation of an official supporting group referred to as the Red Devils in 1995.

History

Pre-1954

Koreans were not introduced to football until 1882, when British crew members played a game while their vessel was visiting the Inchon Port.[1] In 1921, the first All Korea Football Tournament was held, and then in 1928, The Korea Football Association was organized, which created a foundation to disseminate and develop football in Korea.[2] In 1940, however, the Governor-General of Korea forced the The Korea Football Association to dissolve.[3]

Following the establishment of the Republic of Korea, the Korea Football Association (KFA) was reinstated in 1948. The KFA became a member of FIFA, the international football governing body, in 1948. The same year, the Korean national team made its international debut at the Olympic Games in London. The KFA joined the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) in 1954.

Since the 1960s, South Korea has emerged as a major football power in Asia, winning several prestigious Asian football championships including the first two AFC Asian Cup tournaments, but have failed to win the title since their last triumph in 1960. The Korean professional football league was launched in 1983. This not only pleased domestic fans, but it has also upgraded the level of the Korean football.[2]

The traditional rival of the South Korea national football team is Japan. The South Korea football team had 75 matches with the Japanese football team and won 40, drew 22, lost 13 matches. However, in the last twelve games both teams have three wins each with six draws. The Korean and Japanese football rivalry began when they became opponents in the AFC World Cup qualifiers since the initial formation of the World Cup.

1954-1989

In their first World Cup finals tournament, the 1954 World Cup as the second Asian team to ever enter the World Cup after the Dutch East Indies, South Korea played games against Hungary and Turkey, losing 9–0 and 7–0 respectively (the game scheduled against West Germany was never played). It would take thirty-two years before South Korea was able to participate in the World Cup finals again.

South Korea would later participate in the first Asian Cup in 1956. They drew with Hong Kong but defeated Israel and South Vietnam to take first place. They hosted and won the second Asian Cup in 1960, winning all of their games. However, they failed to repeat this success and lost all their games in the 1964 Asian Cup and failed to qualify in 1968. They recovered in 1972 and took second place. They once again failed to qualify in 1976 but reached second place again in 1980.

In 1986, South Korea was able to qualify for the 1986 World Cup held in Mexico, their first since 1954. They however failed to win a game, losing 3–1 to Argentina, drawing 1–1 with Bulgaria, and losing 3–2 to Italy.

Their next major tournament was the 1988 Asian Cup, in which they won all their games in the group stage and defeated China 2-1 in the semi-finals but lost on penalties 4-3 in the final against Saudi Arabia.

1990-2001

In the 1990 World Cup, they lost all their games against Spain 3-1, Uruguay 1-0, and Belgium 2-0. South Korea failed to qualify for the 1992 Asian Cup as well.

In the 1994 World Cup they managed to draw with Spain 2-2, scoring two goals in the last five minutes of the game. They earned another draw with Bolivia 0-0 but lost to Germany 2-3 to fail to advance the second stage. In the 1996 Asian Cup they barely managed to make it out of the group stage as they ranked third on their group, losing to Kuwait on goal difference. A comparison made between all the third ranked teams in each group allowed South Korea to advance. However they suffered a 2-6 loss to Iran in the quarter-finals, conceding five goals in the second half.

Afterwards, former South Korean legend Cha Bum-Kun became the head coach going into the 1998 World Cup. After performing well in the qualification, however, the team played poorly in the tournament, losing to Mexico 3-1 and the Netherlands 5-0. Cha was sacked after the loss to the Netherlands. The team then managed a 1-1 draw against Belgium. In the 2000 Asian Cup, South Korea managed to advance out of the group stage and defeated rivals Iran 2-1 in the quarter-finals but were beaten by Saudi Arabia 2-1 in the semi-finals. They defeated China 1-0 to gain third-place.

2002 World Cup

South Korea co-hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup tournament with Japan. Led by Dutch coach Guus Hiddink from the Netherlands, and assistant coach Pim Verbeek, the South Korean team achieved their first ever victory in the World Cup with a 2–0 victory against Poland. They earned a 1–1 draw with the United States and managed a 1–0 victory against the favored Portuguese.

This allowed the South Korean team to qualify for the second round for the first time in their history. South Korea's second round opponents were Italy, who were defeated 2–1 in a very physical match in extra time, through a headed golden goal from Ahn Jung Hwan. South Korea then earned a semi-final berth by defeating Spain 5-3 on penalties, becoming the first Asian team to reach the final four.

The South Korean team's run was halted by a 1–0 loss to Germany in the semi-finals. They lost to Turkey 3–2 in the third-place match to gain fourth place, the highest ranking of any Asian team.

2003-2013

Korea participated in and won the first EAFF East Asian Cup in 2003. However they had less success the next year in the Asian Cup, losing to Iran in the quarter finals. They hosted the East Asian Cup in 2005, this time achieving fourth place.

Korea qualified for the 2006 World Cup after defeating Kuwait in the qualifiers, finishing second in Group B after Saudi Arabia. During the 2006 World Cup, South Korea achieved their first World Cup victory outside Asia by beating Togo 2–1. They then drew 1–1 against eventual finalists France, but lost 2–0 to Switzerland, which eliminated them from the tournament.

Korea's next major tournament was the 2007 Asian Cup. Without star players such as Lee Young-Pyo, Park Ji-Sung, and Seol Ki-Hyeon, they managed to make it out of the group stage with only four points. They defeated Iran in the quarterfinals but lost to Iraq in the semifinals. They then defeated Japan to achieve third place. All of Korea's matches outside the group stage were decided by penalty shootouts. Later, it was discovered that during the tournament, four veteran players, including then captain Lee Woon Jae, broke team rules to go on a late-night drinking binge in an Indonesian bar. Each of the four players were banned from national team participation for at least two years.[4] Pim Verbeek, the national coach at the time, resigned after the tournament, taking blame for the team's unsatisfactory performance. He also criticized the unrealistic expectations from the fans. Afterwards South Korea chose its first Korean coach since 2000 when Huh Jung-Moo, who had previously coached the team, was appointed in 2008. Under his management the South Korean team managed to win the 2008 East Asian Cup, go undefeated for twenty-seven consecutive games in 2009, and qualify for the 2010 World Cup.

South Korea won the 2010 World Cup AFC qualification with 16 points – seven wins and seven draws in total. In the 2010 World Cup they were placed in Group B. They won their first game against Greece 2–0 but suffered a large loss to Argentina 4–1. They then obtained a 2–2 draw with Nigeria, allowing them to make it to the second round for the first time on foreign soil. In the knockout stage they met Uruguay, who defeated South Korea by a score of 2–1 and eliminated them from the tournament.

In the 2011 AFC Asian Cup they finished second in their group, losing to Australia on goal difference. They defeated Iran 1–0 in the quarter-finals but lost to Japan in the semi-finals. They defeated Uzbekistan to get third place for the second Asian Cup in a row. South Korea qualified for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, finishing second in their group via goal difference.
