South Korea, who finished second in Group A, will face Japan, who finished first in Group B, for a spot in the final. The Korea-Japan match will take place at dawn on the 27th KST. If South Korea defeats Japan and advances to the final, they will face the winner of the Qatar-Bahrain match for one ticket to the Olympic Games in Paris.

The team that finishes first in this qualifier will advance to the Olympic Games. The second-place finisher will compete in the final qualifier next March.

South Korea and Japan have a strong head-to-head record, with South Korea leading the series with 23 wins, two draws, and three losses. However, Japan has defeated a string of Middle Eastern powerhouses in this tournament, including Iran and Bahrain.

At the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games this month, the women’s team reached the final but had to settle for silver after a 19-29-‘shock loss’ to Japan. The men’s team will be looking to set the tone for the women’s team in this qualifier.
