The Korea Football Association (KFA) said on the 8th, “Kim Ji-soo, who was included in the 23 entries to participate in the Asian final qualifiers for the 2024 Paris Olympics, was selected as a replacement for Kim Dong-jin as his team, Brentford, finally informed him that he would not be able to select the player. Kim Dong-jin is scheduled to leave for Dubai on flight EK0325 this evening.”

The Olympic team, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, will participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics Asian final qualifier and the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-23 (U-23) Asian Cup to be held in Doha, Qatar, starting on the 16th. Prior to this, Seon-Hong Hwang set up a training camp in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the 6th to adapt to the local environment and improve his condition.

However, Hwang Seon-hongho faced difficulties from the start. This is because Yang Hyun-jun was unable to join on the 5th due to his refusal to be called up to his team, and Baek Sang-hoon (FC Seoul) received treatment for a knee injury and will decide whether to join depending on his recovery progress. Hong Si-hoo (Incheon United) was selected as a replacement for Yang Hyun-jun. It didn’t stop there, and this time, even Kim Ji-soo was unable to join the team due to her refusal to be selected.

Initially, Hwang Seon-Hong considered whether overseas players would join or not as the biggest variable. Since it is not a competition hosted by the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA), it is not mandatory to be selected, so if the team refuses, the player cannot be selected. That was why Coach Hwang left for Europe after completing training camp in Turkyeye early this year and discussed recruiting overseas players with their respective teams.
