Seoul gears up to host five-time world champions!

The Seoul World Cup Stadium in the vibrant capital of South Korea gears up to host the international friendly fixture, where the home team and multiple-time AFC Asian Cup champions South Korea take on Brazil.

South Korea made it to the FIFA World Cup 2026 after emerging as table toppers of Group B in the World Cup Qualifiers. They managed to get the better of teams like Jordan, Iraq, Oman, Palestine and Kuwait to remain undefeated. They are coming after a win over USA and a draw against Mexico recently.

After a not-so-impressive campaign in the qualifiers, Brazil somehow made it to the FIFA World Cup 2026 after finishing fifth. Italian gaffer Carlo Ancelotti, who has previously managed big clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, have taken over the reins as the head coach and will be hoping to bring back the old golden days for Brazil. They are coming after a defeat to Bolivia recently.

Kick-off:

• Location: Seoul, South Korea
• Stadium: Seoul World Cup Stadium
• Date: Friday, October 10
• Kick-off Time: 4:30 p.m. IST
• Referee: TBD
• VAR: In use

Players to Watch

Kim Min-jae (South Korea)

The 28-year-old defender has plied his trade with top European clubs like Fenerbahce and Napoli before making a move to Allianz Arena with Bayern Munich in 2023. He has represented his national team on several occasions and played almost every single game in the World Cup Qualifiers.

Richarlison is in sublime form after already scoring three goals for Spurs this season. Brazil will expect Richarlison to exhibit a similar form when he dons the yellow jersey at Seoul. He has previously played for teams like Fluminense, Watford and Everton before moving to North London.
