Asian qualifier draw: North Korea's men's team's "home problem" and football spirit
The draw ceremony for the top 18 groups in the Asian region of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers came to an end in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the news that the Chinese team was in the "group of death" caused heated discussions, but the other team, the North Korean men's football team, also became the focus of public opinion because of the special "home problem", and the 18 teams were the only ones who lacked North Korean representatives to attend, and they finally settled in Group A with Iran, Qatar, Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Kyrgyzstan
At the beginning of this year, the Japanese women's football team was supposed to go to North Korea to play in order to compete for the Paris Olympics ticket, but was temporarily notified to change the venue to Saudi Arabia, a similar situation also appeared in the previous World Cup qualifiers, the Japanese men's football team and the North Korean men's football team in the same group, after completing the game in Japan, the North Korean side proposed that the home game was also arranged in Japan, this almost unreasonable request was rejected by the Japanese Football Association, In the end, FIFA decided that the North Korean men's football team lost to Japan
Why is the North Korean men's football team so "obsessed" with arranging home matches in other countries?
This series of operations of the North Korean men's football team has caused many fans to wonder: as a national team, why is it so "resistant" to playing home games in its own country? Is it to avoid the "supervision" of the fans, or is there something else going on? To answer this question, we need to look at it from multiple angles
Disease prevention and control is one of the important factors considered by the North Korean government, as one of the countries with the strictest epidemic prevention policies in the world, North Korea has always been cautious about the holding of large-scale international events, during the epidemic, international large-scale events have become one of the important ways to spread the virus, and North Korea's medical resources are relatively limited, once the epidemic spreads in the country, the consequences are unimaginable, therefore, arranging home games in other countries has become the best choice for North Korea to avoid risks
Political and historical factors intertwin: the complex considerations behind the North Korean men's football team's "home conundrum".
In recent years, the situation on the Korean Peninsula has continued to be tense, which has added more uncertainty to the holding of international events, in order to avoid unnecessary troubles and risks, the North Korean government has chosen to arrange home games in other countries, which is also out of consideration for national security and political stability
Historical factors should not be ignored either, as there are complex historical entanglements between North Korea and South Korea and Japan, and these historical issues have not yet been completely resolved, which also makes North Korea feel pressured to host international events
"Curve to save the country": The North Korean men's football team found another way to seek a chance to play
In the face of various difficulties and restrictions, the North Korean men's football team did not give up the pace of chasing their dreams, and they chose to arrange their home games in other countries, which is both a helpless move and a strategy of "saving the country by curve", after all, for a team that aims to impact the World Cup, being able to participate in the game is the most important thing, as for where the game is located, it is secondary
Sportsmanship shines: the persistence and love of the North Korean men's football team
The story of the North Korean men's football team shows us the true meaning of sportsmanship, despite all the difficulties they faced, they still maintained their love for football, and made great efforts to achieve it, and they proved with practical actions that sports have nothing to do with politics, sports can transcend national borders, and sports can convey friendship and peace
