A North Korean football club, Naegohyang Women’s FC, will visit South Korea next month for the first time since 2018, scheduled to play Suwon FC Women in the Asian Women’s Champions League semi-final on May 20. The delegation, consisting of 27 players and 12 staff, will arrive on May 17 as South Korean President Lee Jae Myung aims to improve ties with the North. The last North Korean athletes to compete in the South did so during the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018. If Naegohyang loses, they will return home the following day after their match.
