History[]
First world title (1976)[]
In August 1976, South Korean universities' national football team participated in the World University Football Championship, the football competition of the International University Sports Federation before the Universiade football was established.[1] South Korea advanced to the knockout stage by defeating Brazil and Chile, and drawing with France in the group stage. It also won against Senegal and the Netherlands in the quarter-finals and semi-finals respectively. In the final against Paraguay, South Korean forward scored the opening goal, but South Korea drew the first half after conceding a goal. During the second half, Cho Kwang-rae won a crucial penalty, and Paraguay gave up the match after two Paraguayan players who didn't accept the judgement were sent off for hitting the referee.[2][3] This scene was a historic moment as South Korea won a world football competition for the first time, although it was not achieved in a professional tournament.
