South Korea vs Paraguay World Cup 2026 Tickets

Clash of Styles and Historic Background

For years now, the modern Asian school has been synonymous with relentless pressure, a tireless tempo and perfectly drilled patterns in elite tournaments – all trademarks of this South Korea side.

On the other side stands the Guaraní team, embodying the region’s most classic brand of football: tight marking, a rock-solid back line and lethal set pieces every time the ball is whipped into the box.

While the Asian outfit thrives on slick one-touch moves and wave after wave of attacks, La Albirroja is at its best in the physical battle, breaking passing lines and bursting forward with conviction after every turnover. In a group stage where every point can change everything, this South Korea–Paraguay showdown turns into a straight fight to stay alive at the World Cup.

World Cup Pedigree and Star Players

After the last World Cup in Qatar 2022, the Asian side arrives riding the momentum of that dramatic round of 16 berth sealed with a last-gasp win over Portugal, spearheaded in attack by Son Heung-min, anchored at the back by the power of Kim Min-jae and fueled between the lines by the creativity of Lee Kang-in.

The Guaraní team, absent from that tournament, still carries a reputation forged over the years: they reached the quarter-finals in 2010, pushed Spain to the limit and, more recently, took it all the way to penalties in the quarter-finals of the Copa América 2021. With tireless forwards and centre-backs who never shy away from a challenge, La Albirroja remains a byword for competitiveness.
