2006 in South Korean football
This article shows the 2006 season of South Korean football.
FIFA World Cup[]
Jo Bonfrère led South Korea to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, but he failed to satisfy Koreans' expectation, and was replaced by Dick Advocaat.[1] Just before the World Cup, however, Advocaat contracted with a Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg beforehand in secret, and was criticized when the truth came out.[2]
South Korea achieved their first-ever victory on foreign soil by beating Togo 2–1, and drew 1–1 with eventual finalists France, but they were eliminated in the group stage after losing 2–0 to Switzerland in the last group match.
