Seoul: The national football governing body announced Wednesday it will celebrate Son Heung-min’s rise to the top of the South Korean men’s caps leaderboard before a friendly match in Seoul later this month.

According to Yonhap News Agency, the Korea Football Association (KFA) said the ceremony to recognize Son’s achievement will take place prior to South Korea’s match against Paraguay at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Oct. 14. Son, who has been the national team captain for a long time, is currently tied with two former players, current men’s head coach Hong Myung-bo and ex-striker Cha Bum-kun, at 136 caps. He is expected to gain sole possession of the lead when South Korea host Brazil on Oct. 10, also at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

Son, 33, made his first international appearance in December 2010. His national team career has spanned 14 years and 253 days, making it the third-longest such run in the history of the men’s team. The KFA noted that the ceremony on Oct. 14 will be titled “Legend Old and New – From Cha to Son,” with Cha set to be present to congratulate Son on the accomplishment.

The KFA will also set up a special photo zone commemorating Son’s feat outside the stadium. Fans who purchase digital tickets can exchange them for printed tickets bearing Son’s image.
