Ghana’s 2022 World Cup opponent South Korea has toured the Education City stadium ahead of their opener against Uruguay.
The Asian giants will open their account against the two-time World Cup winners on Thursday, November 24 at 10am.
Ahead of the clash, the Korean national soccer team visited the stadium that will host their opening group game.
Coach Paulo Bento, coaching staff, and players went out to explore the stadium wearing comfortable training clothes and sneakers.
Players gathered in twos and threes to walk on the ground and check the condition of the grass by touching it before their first game.
Reacting to the condition of the pitch, Hwang In-beom, who plies his trade for Olympiacos said, “The grass is very good. The training ground is a bit hard, but it feels softer than the training ground.”
Kim Moon-hwan of Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors also showed satisfaction, saying, “The grass is so nice and it seems perfect for playing. It’s similar to a training ground, but it feels a little softer.”
Baek Seung-ho (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors) was also satisfied with the condition of the stadium, saying, “It may change depending on how the teams playing in front of us play, but the current state is so good.”
South Korea has been housed in Group H against Portugal, Uruguay and Ghana.
