The coach of Korea's national women's volleyball team on Monday expressed confidence that his team will win a medal at the upcoming Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, saying his players are on track after their first official training session in Japan. "In the previous competition, we stopped at the quarterfinals. I can see their strong determination for this Asian Games," coach Cha Sang-hyun told reporters after the training session held at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Gymnasium in Okazaki, some 50 kilometers southeast of Nagoya. "We are doing our best and making every effort to achieve our goal." The team arrived in Japan the previous day to begin its campaign to reclaim a medal at the Asian Games, which will kick off Saturday. Korea will face Hong Kong, Qatar and Vietnam in Pool D of the preliminary round. The top two teams from each of the four groups will advance to the quarterfinals. At the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, Korea lost to Vietnam in its first preliminary match and failed to get into the medal phase. It was the first time since 2006 that Korea had failed to win an Asian Games med
North Korea kicked off their Asian Games women's football competition with a 10-0 rout of Bangladesh in Japan on Monday. Chae Un-yong, Jon Ryong-jong and Kim Kyong-yong each grabbed a brace, and Hwang Yu-yong had the other in a seven-goal first half for North Korea at Nagai Stadium in Osaka, some 140 kilometers west of the main host city, Nagoya. The North Koreans tacked on three more goals in the latter half to complete the breezy win. The largely empty stadium featured hundreds of Japanese residents of North Korean descent decked out in red shirts, matching the color of the team on the pitch. Those fans were mostly students from Osaka and Kyoto, but a senior official of the group declined to speak with a Yonhap News Agency reporter on the scene, citing a directive from his superiors. The official also asked the reporter not to attempt to interview any member of the cheering group. The North Koreans are pursuing their first Asiad gold medal since 2014. They will next play Myanmar on Thursday and then Korea next Monday.
Korean women's volleyball team captain Kang So-hwi said Monday she has one special goal at the upcoming Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, which will be her second and likely last Asiad as a national team player. "I want to win an Asian Games medal for my teammates," Kang told reporters after an official training session at Okazaki Chuo Sogo Park Gymnasium in Okazaki, some 50 kilometers southeast of Nagoya. "To achieve this goal, I will do my best fearlessly and without hesitation," she said. The 29-year-old outside hitter first joined the national squad in 2016 and helped Korea win bronze at the 2018 Asian Games in Indonesia. At the 2023 Hangzhou Games, Korea failed to advance to the medal round after losing to Vietnam in the preliminary round. It was the first time since 2006 that Korea had failed to win an Asian Games medal in women's volleyball. For Kang, it was a painful memory, but she stressed that she did not want to let it weigh on her any longer. "It was a big hurt. But I do not want to stop with that memory. I want to overcome it and grab a medal," she said. Setter Kim Da-in said she is p
In Korea's buildup to the men's football tournament at the Asian Games in central Japan this month, Grasshopper forward Lee Young-jun has been conspicuous by his absence. Lee, 23, was called up to the 23-man squad by head coach Lee Min-sung for the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in July. But the player's Swiss club had not yet released the forward as of Monday, the eve of Korea's first Group D match against Qatar at Nagoya City Mizuho Park Rugby Field in Nagoya. The 193-centimeter striker with a nose for the goal is expected to be a major offensive weapon for Korea as they chase their fourth consecutive gold medal. According to an official with the Korea Football Association (KFA), though, Lee will likely not join the team until just before the second Group D match against Saudi Arabia on Sept. 22. The official explained that there had been some confusion between the KFA and Grasshopper regarding Lee's release, following a recent leadership change at the Swiss club. Lee Min-sung himself described the situation as "having a bit of an issue" without divulging much but insisted the rest of the te
