After the World Cup, Jung Sung Ryong wasn't selected for any international friendly games until 14 November, when he was selected to play against Jordan, and kept a clean sheet. Despite being included in the promotional material for the AFC Asian Cup in Australia, he was overlooked, as Kim Jin-hyeon was the first choice goalkeeper throughout the tournament, as they finished as runner–up. After the tournament, he made one appearance later in the year, which came on 13 October 2015, in a 3–0 win over Jamaica.
