In Group H of the 2022 World Cup, Uruguay and South Korea will kick off play on November 24. Both groups of the World Cup will feature tight competition. However, the current Uruguayan team of athletes is quite promising. Despite having won the competition twice, Uruguay hasn’t gone all the way since its title-winning run in the World Cup 1950 in Brazil.
Making the semifinals in the FIFA World Cup 2002 was South Korea’s most remarkable performance at home. In their past four visits, they advanced to the elimination phase, falling to Uruguay in the contest of 16 in 2010. The other members of Group H’s opponents are Ghana and Portugal.

Before the competition, Son Heung-Min sustained a face injury that might have stopped him from participating. However, he is still a team member, which is great for South Korea.
