Veteran striker Ahn Jung-hwan will rejoin the Korean national soccer team for its match against Cote D'Ivoire.

The national team, led by coach Huh Jung-moo, announced on Thursday its final roster of 23 players for its match against the African country slated for March third in London.

This will be the first time for Ahn to play for the team in 20 months since he took part in a World Cup qualifier against North Korea in June 2008.

Star striker Park Ju-young, however, was left off the roster due to injury.

The national team will leave for London on Sunday.
