Soccer's world governing body has again put the spotlight on rookie sensation Park Ju-young.

FIFA said on its homepage Thursday that the top player in last year's Asian youth championship has continued his goal streak in recent World Cup qualifiers against Uzbekistan and Kuwait.

Calling the 19-year-old a national star, the report included stories of his childhood, expert acclaim that he is a Korean soccer treasure, Christian devotion and his hope to advance to the semifinals of the youth world championships.

South Korea clinched its Asia-record sixth straight World Cup berth Wednesday after a 4-0 win over Kuwait.
