S. Korea Hints at Approving Women's Football Team Visit to N. Korea

South Korea has hinted that it may allow the women’s national football team to visit North Korea for an Asian Football Confederation(AFC) qualifier to be held in Pyongyang in April.

Unification Ministry spokesman Jeong Joon-hee said on Monday that the issue of approving the visit will be handled according to the AFC’s international regulations and procedures.

The spokesman added that the government also plans to review a cheering squad’s possible visit to the North if the South’s Korean Football Association(KFA) submits such an application.

Jeong said a decision on whether to approve the squad’s visit will be made after looking into North Korea and the KFA's position on the matter.
