Every four years, the world unites for the FIFA World Cup. For North Korea, qualification for the World Cup is a matter of national pride. The North Korean national team has only qualified for the World Cup twice, in 1966 and 2010. However, each time they have qualified, they have made their mark on the tournament. In 1966, they famously beat Italy 1-0 in the group stage, and in 2010 they held Portugal to a draw in their opening game.<\/p>\n

No, North Korea has not qualified for the World Cup since 2010.<\/p>\n

Does North Korea participate in world sports? <\/h2>\n

North Korea is a country that takes pride in its athletes and their abilities. They have medaled in every Summer Olympics they have participated in and have also done well in the Winter Olympics competitions. Their first appearance in the Winter Olympics was in 1964 in Innsbruck, Austria. The North Korean athletes are dedicated and work hard to be the best in the world. They are a force to be reckoned with in the Olympics and always give their country something to be proud of.<\/p>\n

The Republic of Korea’s run at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has ended. Despite a late goal from Paik Seung-ho, the Koreans could not complete what would have been a comeback for the ages against a Brazilian team that scored four times in the first half of their game in the round of 16.<\/p>\n
