South Korean national team defender Ji-Sung Park will leave the national team after the Asian Cup next month.

The 29-year-old footballer, who has already scored six goals this season, has decided to give way to younger compatriots and wants to focus all his attention on club football.

"Before the World Cup, Park said that participating in the Asian Cup would be his last with the national team," the player's father said. "There is no reason for him to change his mind."
