Korea is preparing for a friendly match against a European team ahead of the Qatar World Cup.

According to the 'Kyunghyang Shinmun' report, Korea is preparing for the last friendly match in Korea on November 11th.

Korea played friendly matches against Costa Rica and Cameroon in September ahead of the Qatar World Cup. In fact, it was the last chance for Korean players to play in Europe.

Therefore, in November, we have no choice but to play mainly with Korean K-League players. Players in Europe can join one week before the start of the World Cup.

Korea will face Portugal in the World Cup finals. The reason we meet the European team in the friendly in November is to prepare for Portugal.

Of course, it's not easy. The KFA should invite a European team to Korea, which is still in the season. So important players may not be able to visit Korea.
