We are pleased to announce that our club's player, Kim Seung-gyu, has been selected for the South Korea national team for the 'FIFA World Cup 2026™', which will be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States in June and July 2026, as announced by the Korea Football Association (KFA). Profile of Kim Seung-gyu: Position: GK, Date of Birth: September 30, 1990, Place of Birth: South Korea. Comment from Kim Seung-gyu: 'First of all, I am deeply honored to be selected for the World Cup squad, which is a dream stage for any soccer player. This is my fourth tournament, but I am always as excited and looking forward to it as if it were my first. Although I will be representing the Republic of Korea, I am delighted to be able to go to the World Cup as a player belonging to FC Tokyo. I believe that without FC Tokyo's help after my major injury, participating in the World Cup would have been difficult, so I am filled with immense gratitude for the club. The goals I set when I came to Tokyo were to make a comeback and perform well, to go to the World Cup, and to bring a title to the team. I will not be satisfied with just being selected this time; I will fight hard to experience many things at the World Cup and return to Tokyo to win the championship trophy. To all the fans and supporters, thank you always for your passionate support! For all of you who support me, I will show you my active performance at the World Cup! Please cheer for me.'
