Bae Joon-ho (Daejeon) and Uhm Ji-sung (Gwangju), 토토사이트 who have been in fine form in the Korean Football League (K League), along with Minnesota of the Major League Soccer (MLS), have been named to the roster for the first qualifying round of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The Korea Football Association (KFA) announced the Olympic team call-up list for the first Olympic qualifier and Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U23 Asian Cup qualifier in Changwon, Gyeongnam, in September.

The initial roster for the first qualifier is 23 players, but Hwang Sun-hong, head coach of the Olympic team, has named a 26-man roster to account for variables such as injuries.

The team will convene in Changwon on Aug. 28 and train through Sept. 3 before finalizing the 23-player roster.

Overseas players Kwon Hyuk-kyu (Celtic, Scotland), Lee Hyun-joo (Wesen-Wiesbaden, Germany) and Jeong Sang-bin will join the team on Sept. 4 if they are included in the qualifying roster.

A number of players who have been active in the K League recently, including Baek Jong-beom (Seoul), Kim Joo-chan (Suwon), and Uhm Ji-sung, have been selected, while Kim Jun-hong (Gimcheon), Bae Joon-ho (Daejeon), and Park Chang-woo (Jeonbuk) were among the four finalists at the U20 World Cup in Argentina last June.

The first Asian qualifier for the Paris Olympics and Group B of the 2024 AFC U23 Asian Cup will be held at the Changwon Football Center from September 6-12 next month. South Korea will open against Qatar on Sept. 6, followed by Kyrgyzstan (Sept. 9) and Myanmar (Sept. 12).

A total of 16 teams will qualify for the U23 Asian Cup, including the top four teams from each of the 11 qualifying groups, as well as hosts Qatar.

Meanwhile, the Hangzhou Asian Games team, which is also co-led by Hwang, will begin training in Changwon on September 4 with K League players and overseas players who can be called up.
