The men's football tournament at the Games will be held from 15 September to 3 October. The draw for the group stage takes place on Thursday 23 July.

Yang joined us from K League 1 side Gangwon FC in January, 2025 and has since enjoyed loan spells at QPR, Portsmouth and Coventry City - he now has 32 Championship appearances to his name and picked up a Championship winner's medal in May after the Sky Blues were promoted to the Premier League.

Now 20, the forward has two senior caps to his name, making his debut in a World Cup qualifier against Jordan in March, 2025.

Yang will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of Spurs and South Korea legend Heung-Min Son, who helped South Korea lift the Asian Games title in 2018. Taegeuk Warriors are aiming for a fourth-successive title after winning in 2014, 2018 and 2022.
