Football is one of popular sporting events in the DPRK.

There are football fields in every part of the country.

Promising footballers of the national team are growing up at Pyongyang International Football School built last year.

The DPRK men's football team defeated its Chinese rival 3:0 in the group league matches of the 17th Asian Games.

A strong hot wind of sports is being raised in the DPRK not only in football but all other events.

In recent years, a lot of excellent sports and amusement facilities and bases, including the Munsu Water Park, the Mirim Riding Club and the Chongchun Street Sports Village, have been built or remodeled in Pyongyang and local areas.

Sports are developing in the DPRK thanks to the energetic leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un who is working hard to improve the people's standard of living, always finding himself among the people.
