Son Heung-min and his South Korea teammates have had a tough 2024 so far but a win against Singapore will be enough to secure a spot in the last round of Asian qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.

“We will have to present our fans with the direction we want to take,” Kim said. “And we must do it with our action on the pitch, rather than with words.” India is eight points behind leading Qatar and second place in Group A, marginally ahead of Afghanistan on goal difference, and takes on last-place Kuwait in Kolkata. A win would take India close to the last stage of continental qualifying for the first time.

In Group G, Saudi Arabia needs a point in Pakistan to advance but opposing coach Stephen Constantine is promising a tough test for Roberto Mancini’s squad in Islamabad. Indonesia is second in Group F and on the brink of an historic first appearance in the final round of Asian qualification.
