Korean Soccer Fails to Participate in Olympics for the First Time in 40 Years... Shock Loss to Indonesia in Penalty Shootout

Lee Young-jun is sent off in the second half after conceding the first goal, and is outnumbered... 2-2 in overtime, 10-11 in penalty shootout, 'preparation period of 2 years and 6 months' Hwang Seon-hong suffers a crushing defeat against Shin Tae-yong in a battle of wits, and his '10th consecutive Olympic appearance' is canceled due to the frustration of going to Paris.

Hwang Seon-hong lost to Shin Tae-yong of Indonesia in a fierce battle that went all the way to a penalty shootout, failing to achieve the great goal of advancing to the Olympic finals for the 10th consecutive time.

The Korean national under-23 (U-23) soccer team, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, was led by coach Shin Tae-yong in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup held at the Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar on the 26th (Korean time).

In this tournament, which also serves as the final Asian qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympics men's soccer, 1st to 3rd place will receive a direct ticket to Paris, and 4th place will go through an intercontinental playoff to determine whether or not they will advance to the finals.

Korea, which had made it to the finals every time since the 1988 Seoul Olympics, was eliminated in the quarterfinals and failed to advance to the Olympics for the 10th time in a row.

It has been 40 years since the 1984 Los Angeles Games that Korean soccer has failed to make it to the Olympics.

Coach Hwang, who was appointed as the head coach of the U-23 national team preparing for the Paris Olympics along with the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games in September 2021, failed to qualify for the Olympics despite being given two years and six months, leaving a big stain on his coaching career.

This is the first time that Korea failed to win a match between Indonesia and the U-23 national team.
