Kang-in Lee is set for one more decisive group-stage assignment at the 2026 World Cup, with South Korea scheduled to face South Africa on Thursday 25 June.

The Paris Saint-Germain midfielder remains one of the club’s active internationals during a busy summer window, and his tournament minutes are worth tracking closely before Luis Enrique’s squad regroups for the new campaign.
PSG’s own international schedule lists South Korea’s final group match against South Africa at Estadio BBVA in Monterrey. That makes Lee’s role especially relevant for Paris supporters, because every knockout-round step would extend his summer workload before the club season starts to sharpen again.
Lee minutes matter for PSG planning
For PSG, this is not simply a national-team footnote. Lee’s versatility across midfield and the right side of attack gives Luis Enrique valuable options, but international football can quickly shape pre-season rhythm, recovery time and early selection calls.
The club has laid out the timing for Lee’s World Cup group-stage finale in PSG’s official tournament schedule. The next question is whether South Korea’s result keeps him away from Paris duties for longer.
That is the practical Paris angle: Lee’s summer form is useful, but his workload will need managing carefully if South Korea extend their stay in North America.
