FIFA Declares 0-3 Confiscation To North Korea For Refusing Home Game In Pyongyang

FIFA decided not to hold a preliminary match on this day because North Korea could not prepare an alternative venue and there was no room to change the schedule due to the postponement of the match.

"The issue will be referred to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee," he said, adding that a 0-3 forfeiture will be declared against North Korea.

North Korea has played three Asian qualifiers in Group B so far, with only one win. It had qualified for the World Cup finals in 1966 and 2010.

Japan has won all three group qualifying matches and is leading the group.

Meanwhile, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said, "North Korea cannot host the second home game of the preliminary round against Japan on the 20th. We have requested that the team play in a neutral third place due to unavoidable circumstances," but did not specify what is inevitable.

North Korea lost to Japan 0-1 in an away game in Tokyo on the 21st.
