Ten-day tour
Rudi Völler's side will face the Korean Republic, the team they defeated in last year's World Cup, during a ten-day tour between 13 and 22 December 2004, which will also include matches against Japan and Thailand.
World Cup memories
The fixture against the Korean Republic in Busan on 19 December is the only fixed date so far and will revive memories of Germany's defeat of the World Cup co-hosts in Seoul, when Michael Ballack scored the only goal.
