Son Heung-min Poised to Create South Korean Football History in Upcoming Brazil Friendly

Los Angeles FC’s Star Striker Nears Record-Breaking Milestone in Seoul

Historic Match in Seoul for South Korean Football Icon

Los Angeles FC’s star striker is on the brink of achieving a significant milestone as he prepares for his 137th international cap in a high-profile friendly against Brazil in Seoul. The match serves as a preparatory event for the upcoming World Cup in North America, where both South Korea and Brazil have secured their spots for the 2026 finals.

Son Heung-min Set to Break Records

The 33-year-old former Tottenham captain, who transitioned to Major League Soccer in August, is currently tied with South Korean football legends Hong Myung-bo and Cha Bum-kun, each with 136 appearances. Saudi coach Hong Myung-bo may see his record surpassed if Son takes the field against Carlo Ancelotti’s squad at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Opportunities to Celebrate a Legendary Career

If Son does not play in the upcoming friendly, he will have another opportunity to reach this milestone at a subsequent match against Paraguay on Tuesday. The event will also feature a commemorative celebration honoring his remarkable career achievements.

Son’s Impressive International Journey

Since his debut in December 2010, Son has become known for his excellent performance, netting 53 goals for South Korea. His experience and skill have made him an integral part of the team, highlighted by memorable matches, including last playing against Brazil during the 2022 Qatar World Cup, where Brazil triumphed with a 4-1 victory.

Looking Forward to the World Cup in North America

The upcoming World Cup in North America is poised to be the 33-year-old Son’s fourth, further cementing his status as one of South Korea’s most decorated players.
