The South Korea national football team (Korean: 대한민국 축구 국가대표팀), also known as Korea Republic by FIFA, represents South Korea in international soccer games for men. The Korea Football Association (KFA) manages the team. They are part of FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
South Korea has become a strong soccer team in Asia since the 1980s. They have played in eleven FIFA World Cup tournaments, including ten in a row. This is more than any other Asian country. Even though they didn't win a match in their first five World Cups, South Korea made history in 2002. They became the first (and only) Asian team to reach the semi-finals when they co-hosted the tournament with Japan. The team has also won the AFC Asian Cup twice and finished second four times. They have also earned three gold and three silver medals at the Asian Games.
Fans and media often call the team the "Reds" because of their main uniform color. Their official fan group is called the Red Devils.

Team Identity
Team Names
The South Korea national football team has a few cool nicknames. They are known as the Taegeuk Warriors (Hangul: 태극전사) and the Tigers of Asia (Hangul: 아시아의 호랑이).
Uniforms and Team Badge
Red is the main color for South Korea's home uniform. This is why they are called the "Reds," and their fans are the "Red Devils." Their away uniform has been either white or black. In 1994, the home uniform changed to white, but red came back as the home color in October 1995.
South Korea used to wear the country's flag on their shirts until 2001. That's when they showed off their new tiger badge. On February 5, 2020, the KFA revealed an even newer, simpler logo. This new badge still has the tiger, but it's a more modern design inside a rectangle. The traditional colors of red, blue, and white are still part of the new logo.
Uniform Sponsors
Kit supplier | Period | Notes |
---|---|---|
Adidas, Asics, Kolon Sports, Pro-Specs, Weekend | 1977–1986 | South Korea worked with Adidas as their first official uniform sponsor. |
Rapido | (Weekend)1987–1995 | They signed a long-term deal with Weekend (later called Rapido) in 1987. |
Nike | 1996–present | Nike has been their sponsor since January 1, 1996. |
Home Stadiums
The South Korea national team played their first home game at the Dongdaemun Stadium on April 21, 1956. This game was a qualifier for the 1956 AFC Asian Cup against the Philippines. Today, they play their home matches at several different stadiums. These stadiums are also used by clubs in the K League.
Team Rivalries
South Korea's biggest rival is Japan. This rivalry goes beyond soccer and has sometimes caused arguments in the past. South Korea has won more games against Japan, with 42 wins, 23 draws, and 17 losses.
They also have a strong rivalry with Iran. These two teams have played 33 official matches since 1958, including eleven World Cup qualifiers. South Korea and Iran were among the best Asian teams in the 1960s and 1970s. Iran has won more games against South Korea, with 13 wins, 10 draws, and 10 losses.
Another important rival is Australia. In 29 games, both teams have won 9 times, and 11 games ended in a draw. They have met four times in the Asian Cup. In the 2015 final, Australia won 2–1 after extra time to win their first Asian championship.
South Korea has had great success against China. China did not beat South Korea in a competitive match for 32 years until 2010. They also have a rivalry with North Korea. However, they don't play each other often due to political reasons.
Supporters
The official fan group for the national team is called the Red Devils. They were started in 1995. They are known for their strong support and are often called the "12th man" because of how much they help the team. Their most common chant is "Dae~ Han-Min-Guk"Hangul: 대~한민국), followed by five claps.
(The FIFA Fan Fest was first used at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea.
