Two Koreas to play World Cup qualifier in Pyeongyang next month: KFA
- 5 years ago
On October 15th, the two Korea's national football teams will face off in Pyeongyang for a World Cup qualifier the first match of its kind in 29 years.
The Korea Football Association was notified of the plan by the Asian Football Confederation, which met with North Korean football officials in Malaysia on Monday.
Normally, national teams each play a World Cup qualifier at home, but the regime has refused to host in the past.
A KFA official said the South Korean men's squad will most likely fly to Pyeongyang from China, and they've already applied for Chinese visas.
