what place is korea in the world cup

Korea is currently 3rd in its World Cup group and sits around 8th among the third-place teams in the current knockout qualification race. That means it is still in contention for the Round of 32, but its fate depends on other results as the group stage wraps up.

What that means

• Korea finished third in Group A on 3 points from 1 win and 2 losses.

• The 2026 World Cup format sends the top two teams from each group plus the eight best third-place teams to the Round of 32.

• Recent reporting shows Korea slipping to 8th in the third-place rankings after other results.

In simple terms

Korea is not out yet , but it is on the edge and needs results elsewhere to go its way. If you want, I can also tell you whether Korea advanced or who they would face next.
