The 15th FIFA World Youth Championship will open Friday in the Netherlands for a heated 23-day run.

The national team aims to revive the glory of its semi-final advance in Mexico in 1983.

Young dynamos Park Chu-young and Kim Jin-kyu, crucial to the team's prospects in the Germany World Cup, flew to the Netherlands to start training.

South Korea is in Group F and will face Switzerland Monday, followed by Nigeria Thursday and Brazil Saturday.

The top two teams in each of the six groups will qualify for the second round, with third-place finishers will receive wildcard berths.
