Asian Games baseball game between Korea and China delayed due to rain

(Toyohashi [Japan] = Yonhap News) Reporter Kyung-yoon Kim = The game against China, which the Korean national baseball team must win in order to advance to the finals of the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, will start delayed due to rain.

The tournament organizing committee announced that the Super Round match between Korea and China, scheduled to be held at Toyohashi Citizen Baseball Stadium in Aichi Prefecture, Japan at 6:30 pm on the 26th, would not start on time due to rain.

As of 6:25 p.m., rain continued to fall, so the exact start time of the game was not set.

The tournament organizing committee's position is that the game will be scheduled for the 26th as much as possible.

This competition will conclude the Super Round schedule by the 26th, with the bronze medal match at 12 noon on the 27th and the final at 6:30 pm.

Korea won three games in the group stage and advanced to the super round as first place in the group, but on the 25th, it was difficult to guarantee advancement to the finals as it lost 0-5 to Japan, which was made up of unemployed baseball players.

The national team must win the game against China today and then watch the results of the game between Japan and Taiwan.
