Leave Denmark out of the equation. Iceland/Finland/Norway, Chile, Netherlands should be our go-to oppositions in preparations for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but I also suspect that Senegal will be looking to arrange a friendly with us as well
Shin Tae-yong will announce the squad for the winter training camp on the 15th, as well as Spain and Portugal are being sought after as a potential venue for the winter training camp due to Sweden's interference in setting their training in UAE (Our original winter training camp venue). Do expect a similar squad from the EAFF E-1 Football Championship minus Kim Min-woo, Lee Myung-joo, Joo Se-jong as they will be leaving for military duty. Park Joo-ho may get a call up.

No, the winter training camp isn't on a FIFA date, so the KPAs won't be available for it. Only domestic players. EDIT: If you're referring to players in J-League, CSL, Middle East, then yes they will be available for the winter training camp.
Yeah, I was referring to the winter training camp, which I should've clarified in my post, but yeah the KPAs will be called up for the friendlies in March, May, June, whilst the final 23 will be announced sometime in mid May. Son-Suk two top in March, so I'm excited.
Since Iceland is out of the picture for March, I hope we can at least set a date with them for May, whilst either one of Norway or Finland should be set as our first opposition for our March friendlies.
According to the KFA, our oppositions for the winter training camp will be of Northern Europe. As I've said before, Denmark is automatically out of the picture since they will be facing Sweden in UAE, nor are they a suitable team in place for Sweden, so that only leaves us with Norway and Finland.
Both Yeom Ki-hun and Kwon Kyung-won won't get called up for the winter training camp due to the ACL play-off round.
