North Korea will send its male and female football players to the 2014 Asian Games – scheduled to take place in the South Korean city of Incheon – state news outlet the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) indicated on January 20.

“Men and women football teams will play matches of the 2014 Asian Games from Sep. 19 to Oct. 4,” the KCNA said in a general report made about North Korean football commitments in 2014.

The KCNA report came just hours after head of the 2014 Incheon Asian Games’ organizing committee Kim Young-soo hinted that North Korea might participate in 2014 tournament.
