South Korea will face South Africa in their final Group A match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at Monterrey Stadium on FS1.
This is the first-ever World Cup meeting between the two nations.
South Korea opened its World Cup campaign with a 2-1 comeback win over Czechia before losing 1-0 to Mexico on Thursday. After conceding due to Kim Seung-Gyu’s goalkeeping miscue early in the second half, South Korea had 67% of possession and outshot Mexico 7-2 the rest of the match.
The Taegeuk Warriors look to carry over that momentum as it looks to advance to the knockout round with a win or draw.
Meanwhile, after losing 2-0 to Mexico in an opener in which it lost two players to red cards, South Africa stayed alive in the tournament on Teboho Mokoena’s 83rd-minute penalty that salvaged a 1-1 draw against Czechia.
In that match, South Africa controlled 61% of possesion and outshot Czechia 17-14.

South Korea vs. South Africa Prediction, Pick
From FOX Sports Wagering Analyst, Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica:
- South Africa played much better in its second match vs Czechia after looking so poor vs Mexico. Still, all Bafana Bafana could muster was a late penalty to get the draw. South Korea need just a draw to advance , but I think this has the potential to be a bit of a wide open affair and South Korea, which probably deserved better vs. Mexico could win by multiple goals. Take South Korea to win by -1.5 goals (+195).
