This article is about the men's B team. For the men's A team, see South Korea national football team.

The South Korea national football B team was the selection of South Korean semi-professional footballers and college footballers. Most of the members were playing in the Korean Semi-professional Football League, the Korean University Football League or the Korea National League. It was naturally abolished with the decline of minor competitions in Asia, but the Universiade team, which consists of only college players, is still being managed.

History

South Korea B was founded in 1961 to participate in Pestabola Merdeka, an Asian football competition annually held by Malaysia.[2] B team played in several Asian competitions instead of A team when they had to have other schedules. They also entered the 1964 AFC Asian Cup while A team concentrated on the 1964 Summer Olympics qualification.[3] In the 1980s, South Korea B was named the "88 Olympic football team", and was used to prepare the 1988 Summer Olympics hosted in Seoul, South Korea.[4]

In May 1988, Korea Football Association (KFA) made another B team for the 1988 AFC Asian Cup qualification to replace existing B team, which will play in the 1988 Korea Cup.[5] KFA also sent B team which consisted of semi-professionals and universities' players to qualify for the 1992 AFC Asian Cup,[6] but they shocked South Korean fans by being eliminated in the qualification after they lost to Thailand.

South Korea B was disappeared naturally after South Korea under-23 team was founded.
