Wales will face South Korea in a senior men's game for the first time when they meet in a friendly at the Cardiff City Stadium on Thursday, 7 September.

The game has been arranged as preparation for Wales' Euro 2024 qualifier in Latvia four days later.

South Korea are captained by Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-Min and managed by Germany's World Cup-winning striker Jurgen Klinsmann.

South Korea reached the last 16 at the 2022 World Cup.

They beat Portugal during the group stages in Qatar, but were beaten 4-1 by Brazil in the first knockout round.

Coach Paulo Bento left his role in the wake of the tournament, with former Germany manager Klinsmann appointed in February 2023.

Wales have made a promising start to Euro 2024 qualifying, drawing in Croatia and then beating Latvia at home.

Their next qualifying game is against Armenia in Cardiff on Friday, 16 June, with a trip to Turkey to follow three days later.

Manager Robert Page will name his squad for those matches on Tuesday, 30 May.
