South Korean soccer star Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who wrapped up his national team schedule in 2024, promised to reunite with his fans during the A-match in March next year.
Son Heung-min said on social networking services (SNS) on Monday, “Thank you for making me happy this year. I’m sorry that I didn’t win the last match, but I think that will make the team even hungrier and grow more.”
He added, “We will visit our team again with a good appearance, and our national team will look forward to meeting in March (next year) with a healthy appearance and a smile.”
Son Heung-min’s national team career this year was eventful.
He went to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup with the goal of winning the title for the first time in 64 years and bowed his head after being completely defeated 0-2 in the semifinals against Jordan.
Son Heung-min, who spent the A-match period in March and June under Hwang Sun-hong and Kim Do-hoon, suffered from injuries after Hong Myung-bo was appointed as the official head coach in July.
However, he also set a meaningful record.
Son Heung-min scored 10 goals this year alone, scoring double-digit goals for the first time in a national team uniform.
In the sixth Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Palestine, which kicked off at the Amman International Stadium in Jordan on the 19th, he also reported his 51st A match. 스포츠토토
With this score, Son Heung-min surpassed Hwang Sun-hong, head coach of Daejeon Hana Citizen (50 goals), and became the sole second-highest scorer in A matches among all-time male players.
Son Heung-min, who finished his A-match schedule this year, will return to Tottenham and prepare for an away game against Manchester City on the 24th.
