South Korea v Costa Rica - International Friendly
South Korea and Cameroon meet after more than 21 years

South Korea host Cameroon at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in the Korean capital of Seoul on Tuesday, as both sides continue their preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The Taeguek Warriors will participate in the competition for the 11th time in their history and will be hoping to reach the knockout stages for the first time since 2010.

However, the road to the last-16 is riddled with thorns as Korea have been drawn alongside Portugal, Uruguay and Ghana in a seemingly challenging Group H.

Cameroon, meanwhile, return to the stage for the first time since 2014, seeing off the mighty Algeria in their qualification playoffs.

Both sides will be looking to put up an improved display from their midweek showing, with neither team winning - Korea were held to a 2-2 draw by Costa Rica while Cameroon lost 2-0 to Uzbekistan.


South Korea vs Cameroon Head-To-Head

South Korea have never lost to Cameroon in their five previous clashes, winning twice and drawing thrice.

Their last encounter came way back in May 2001 and ended in a goalless stalemate.
