(Reuters) - South Korea's sports ministry said on Thursday it will work with the domestic soccer league to improve the quality of pitches after national team captain Son Heung-min said the issue was partly to blame for poor results in home World Cup qualifiers.
South Korea are three points clear in Group B in the third round of Asian qualifying for the 2026 World Cup but would have already sealed their spot in North America had they beaten Oman or Jordan in the recent international window.
