Team’s first practice after lightning strike triggers lightning alarms, but thankfully unharmed

The South Korean national soccer team, led by interim head coach Kim Do-hoon, has held its first training session in preparation for its upcoming match against Singapore at the 2026 FIFA Confederations Cup North America, Asia Second Qualifying Round

The South Korean national soccer team will take on Singapore in the fifth round of the FIFA Confederations Cup North America 2026 Asia Second Qualifying Round at the Singapore National Stadium 카지노 on June 6 at 9 p.m. KST.

Coach Kim and his players gathered the squad at Incheon International Airport on Feb. 2 and flew straight to Singapore. The team is comprised of international stars like Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, and Bae Jun-ho, as well as veterans who have made their mark in the K League.

Of the total 23 players, 20 were on hand for the first day of training, excluding Choi Jun (FC Seoul), Hwang Jae-won (Daegu FC), and Hong Hyun-seok, who had a K League match on Sunday and is playing for Belgian club Gent. The seven players who joined the team after playing on the weekend were trained to recover their physical strength, while the rest were trained to improve their physical condition.

The biggest challenge of the exercise was the local weather. Singapore was under a lightning warning. According to the KFA, according to Singaporean law, training cannot take place if the stadium’s warning lights are activated, and they have to be checked every 30 minutes to make sure everything is okay.

This meant that if the lightning continued to strike, the national team would not be able to train. However, after the final check at 6:30 p.m. local time, the lightning stopped and the team was able to train for about an hour.

However, the local weather conditions will be a variable in that this situation could continue.
