The Unification Ministry will provide 250 million won in aid to pay for the North Korean national youth soccer team's training visit to the South.

A ministry official said the complimentary subsidy coming from Seoul's inter-Korean cooperation fund allotted for personnel exchanges will cover the team's month-long stay in South Korea.

Thirty-two North Korean players arrived in Jeju Island Tuesday. Their training will also take place in Gwangyang, Changwon, Suwon and Seoul.
