Tokyo 2020 - The North Korean women's soccer team retires

The Asian federation announced Tuesday that no North Korean team will be present at the South Korean qualifying race, but has not released further details.

The DPRK team would have played in a four-team tournament with the Republic of Korea, Vietnam and Myanmar. The other qualifiers will be held in China, with Taiwan, Thailand and Australia taking the lead alongside the home side.

Earlier this month, the Republic of Korea withdrew from the 2023 Women's Football World Cup at the last minute on the grounds that, due to the deterioration in political relations, joint management with the GDR is no longer possible.
