Home-based stars such as Lee Dong-kyung (Ulsan HD), Park Jin-seop, Kim Jin-Kyu (both Jeonbuk Hyundai), Lee Myung-Jae, and Kim Moon-Hwan (both Daejeon) have also been called up, offering a blend of domestic and international talent.

The South Korean squad for the Ghana friendly features a mix of established stars and returning players, along with promising home-based talent. The team will look to avenge their 2022 World Cup loss and gain valuable match practice ahead of future competitions.
