Shin Sang-woo revealed the starting lineup for the match against Colombia.
The women's national football team of Korea, led by head coach Shin Sang-woo, will face Colombia in the first leg of the 'Coupang Play Invitation Women's National Football Team Friendly Match' on the 30th at 7 p.m. at Incheon Namdong Rugby Stadium.
This match marks the team's first home game since Shin Sang-woo's appointment as head coach. Currently, Korea ranks 19th in the FIFA rankings, while Colombia ranks 21st. The two teams faced each other two years ago in the Australia-New Zealand Women's World Cup, where Colombia won 2-0.
Korea will feature Kim Min-jung, Shin Na-young, Ko Yu-jin, Lim Sun-joo, Kim Sin-ji, Moon Eun-joo, Ji So-yeon, Jang Seul-ki, Lee Young-joo, Kim Hye-ri, and Park Soo-jung in the starting lineup. Woo Seo-bin, Kim Jin-hee, Lee Min-hwa, Lee Geum-min, Choi Yu-ri, Kim Mi-yeon, Lee Eun-young, Jung Min-young, Kang Chae-rim, Ryu Ji-soo, Noh Jin-young, Chu Hyo-joo, Casey, Jeon Yu-kyung, and Jung Da-bin will sit on the bench.
The starting lineup reflects a focus on generational change. Park Soo-jung, born in 2004 and a first-time call-up to the national team, will make her debut as a starter. Meanwhile, Casey, born in 2007, is also waiting to enter the match. With players born after 2000 making up half the team, the harmony between veterans like Ji So-yeon and Lee Young-joo is expected to be important.
