South Korea to host Uruguay in international friendly at Suwon on September 28

South Korea will face Uruguay in an international friendly at the Suwon World Cup Stadium on September 28, 2026, in a match that forms part of their 2026 friendly schedule.

The fixture was also described as scheduled to take place at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. South Korea arrive off a 3-0 victory over Ecuador and will seek to extend that winning run under interim manager Robert Moreno; the home side are expected to try to control the tempo of the game.

Uruguay have struggled for results, losing 1-3 to Japan and failing to record a win in their last eight matches. The report notes Diego Forlan-led Uruguay conceded two late goals in that defeat and will be keen to avoid similar defensive lapses away from home.

Son Heung-min was singled out as the standout performer in South Korea’s 3-0 win over Ecuador, scoring one goal from what the source describes as a sensational free-kick; the article identifies him as a former Spurs forward and one of South Korea’s principal threats in the final third.

Maxi Araújo was the sole scorer for Uruguay in the 1-3 loss to Japan and is listed to operate on the left wing for this match; the piece adds that the Sporting CP man can also provide assistance in midfield.

The preview states all selected players for both teams are fit and available and provides a squad list in full: Seung-Gyu Kim (GK); Seol, Han-Beom Lee, Min-Jae Kim, Cho; Jung, Park, Jae-Sung Lee, Song; Og, Son Mele (GK); Nandez, Araujo, Olivera, Sanabria; Rodriguez, Torreira, Bentancur, Arujo; Nunez, Vinas.

Prediction: South Korea 3-1 Uruguay. The match will be broadcast live in South Korea on TV Chosun, TVN and Coupang Play.
