Coach Park Hang-seo takes on new role as head of Korea's 'World Cup project'

TPO - The Korean Football Federation announced that it has just restructured its organization. Some departments were eliminated and some new departments were established. In particular, Coach Park Hang-seo holds one of the most important positions in this apparatus.

Park Hang-seo, who is currently vice president of the Korea Football Association (KFA), has been appointed as the head of the country's 2026 World Cup project. His duties will include supporting the team, implementing and planning the qualifying rounds and the 2026 World Cup finals.

He will be assisted by Cho Jun-heon, who is in charge of practical work. Lee Jeong-seop is in charge of finance, while Park is in charge of general management, especially keeping a close eye on the team during competitions.

Park Hang-seo is a particularly influential figure in Korean football. He has influenced the players and is considered a true motivator. His presence in the 2026 World Cup Committee is expected to motivate the players to perform better, not only in the qualifying round but also in the finals.

South Korea still cannot win a ticket to the finals

After 8 matches, the Korean team is not sure to win a ticket to the final round. This team has an advantage over Jordan and Iraq but the gap is not too big. They are only 3 points away from 2nd place and 4 points away from 3rd place. If they do not win at least 1 of the remaining 2 matches, Korea can be pushed down to 3rd place and lose the direct ticket.

Currently, although busy with work in his home country, Coach Park Hang-seo still pays some attention to Vietnamese football. Fans saw him present at some important events. That shows Coach Park's enthusiasm for Vietnamese football.
