Oh Hyun-kyu scored an additional goal in the ninth Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Iraq in Basra, Iraq, on the 6th, playing a key role in the 2-0 victory. South Korea has confirmed its advance to the World Cup finals for 11 consecutive times with its victory over Iraq. South Korea will play the final match of the 10th round of the third qualifying round against Kuwait at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th.
"It is a blessing to be close to a European champion," Oh said on meeting Lee Kang-in who won the UEFA Champions League in 2024-25 and Son Heung-min who won the UEFA Europa League in the national team. "(Lee) Kang-in has won the Champions League, and I really respect him as a friend because he did something that no one would dream of," he added. "(Son) Heung-min also won a competition in which strong European teams participate. I'm glad that he won the championship."
Oh Hyun-kyu, who showed an impressive performance in the match against Iraq, said, "When I was selected for the national team as a member of Celtic, I felt less prepared, but I think I'm ready now. "I have confidence to be recognized by the national team," he said. "I'm happy if I play for even a few minutes wearing the Taegeuk mark. I'll do my best."
"I knew Jinwoo (former) would give to me when I jumped in. I was with him in middle and high school, and I can tell just by looking at his eyes. He is like a family even though he is with me in a professional game. I ran without thinking anything. I think it was a match against Seongnam, but I remember that time," he said.
Asked about his desire to play in his first World Cup match in Qatar, Oh Hyun-kyu, a preliminary member of the World Cup, said, "The next year is important. Players who show good performances will be selected. I think I should show good performances whenever I have the opportunity." He also said, "The experience of preliminary members of the World Cup also helps me. Some of my teammates might be nervous because it's their first time on the World Cup stage, but I felt joy, anger, sorrow and pleasure together while watching them closely. It will be the biggest motivation."
