S. Korea coach eager to test new defenders at East Asian football tournament

SEOUL, July 6 (Yonhap) — South Korea head coach Hong Myung-bo said Sunday he will use the upcoming regional football tournament on home soil to test new faces on defense.

South Korea will take on China, Hong Kong and Japan at the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Football Championship, starting Monday. Since the EAFF tournament isn't on FIFA's official international match calendar, clubs were under no obligation to release their players for this window — leaving the participating countries to rely heavily on their domestic leagues to fill out their squads.

For Hong's 26-man squad, 23 players come from the K League 1. In the days leading up to the event, Hong has repeatedly said the EAFF event will be an opportunity to test new players with the FIFA World Cup less than a year away.
