FC Midtjylland seeks to strengthen ties with South Korean football

FC Midtjylland academy coach Mads Vinter Albæk has expressed interest in recruiting more South Korean players following the club’s participation in the K League International Youth Cup in Incheon.

Albæk noted that the club’s connection to South Korea has grown through players such as Cho Gue-sung, Lee Han-beom, and Hong Hyun-seok. During the youth tournament, FC Midtjylland distinguished itself as the only foreign team to produce merchandise featuring Korean text.

Albæk, who temporarily led the combined U18 squad during the trip, highlighted the technical skills, humility, and respect shown by South Korean youth players, suggesting these qualities could benefit European football.
