South Korea’s national soccer team will arrive in Foz do Iguacu, its base camp during the FIFA World Cup kicking off in Brazil later this week, on Wednesday.

South Korea will face Russia on June 18 (Korea standard time) in the first round of the 2014 World Cup, with other Group H matches against Algeria and Belgium to follow on June 23 and June 27, respectively.

The 23-man squad, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, finished its training in Miami, the United States, Tuesday with a 4-0 defeat by Ghana in its last tune-up ahead of the World Cup tournament.

The tournament's opening match between Brazil and Croatia will be held in Sao Paulo on June 12.
