Posted on: Wed 03 Mar 2010

Korea Republic take on Ivory Coast in a friendly International football fixture at Loftus Road today (Wednesday) - kick-off 2.30pm.

Both nations are keen to bring their football to London to entertain the estimated 20,000 Koreans and 10,000 Ivoriens that live in and around the city.

The game takes place in the early afternoon as it is being broadcast live to Korea by KBS Television.

Both nations are preparing for the World Cup 2010 in South Africa. With the match in London, all the European players are expected to play including Manchester United's Park Ji Sung and Chelsea's Didier Drogba.

The Elephants, as Ivory Coast are also known, will also be able to call on Kolo Touré, Salomon Kalou and Emmanuel Eboué from the Premier League as well as Yaya Touré, (Barcelona) Bakari Koné (Marseille) and Gervinho, (Lille).

Korean Head Coach, Huh Jung Moo, said: "Playing against one of the strongest African teams in England is another great match to prepare for the World Cup."

Korea can call on all the European players including AS Monaco Park Chu-Young and Bolton's Lee Chung Yong.

It will only be the dedicated fans that will be able to say: "I was there."

But this historic event is already creating a buzz among the London based communities who can see their World Cup bound teams on their door step.

Ali Russell, Deputy Managing Director of QPR, said: "We are absolutely delighted to be staging this fixture at Loftus Road.

"With both nations preparing for this summer's World Cup, it promises to be a highly-competitive fixture.

"Loftus Road lends itself to a brilliant atmosphere, and I am sure the Koreans and Ivoriens are going to really make the most of it.

"We have held some very successful international matches at Loftus Road in the past, and this is sure to be another."
