Here’s the latest widely reported update on the South Korea women’s national basketball team:
South Korea secured its 17th consecutive World Cup qualification by defeating the Philippines 105-74 in the final round of 2026 FIBA World Cup qualifiers, extending a record only behind the United States [source coverage from March 2026]. This sets up a matchup against France in the World Cup main round [source coverage from March 2026]. Kang Yi-seul has been highlighted for her scoring and leadership in recent qualifiers [source coverage from March 2026].
In the lead-up to the World Cup, Korea also earned attention for strong performances in the final qualifying round, including a notable win against Colombia as they progressed toward securing a top-two finish in their group, with commentary focusing on the team’s defense and tempo [source coverage from March 2026].
France, ranked No. 3 in the world at the time, was identified as the next big test for Korea in the World Cup main round after their qualification was secured [source coverage from March 2026].
