Naegohyang Women’s FC from North Korea will compete against South Korea’s Suwon FC Women in the Asian Champions League semifinals on May 20, marking the first time a North Korean sports team has visited the South since 2018. South Korean civic organizations are mobilizing volunteers to support Naegohyang, with expectations of over 1,000 fans attending. However, due to legal restrictions, North Korean flags and anthems will not be permitted at the match. The semifinal winner will advance to the final on May 23 against either Melbourne City or Tokyo Verdy Beleza.
