North Korea Withdraws Women’s Football Qualifiers in South Korea

North Korea withdraws Women’s Football Qualifiers match in South Korea of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics event. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC), on Tuesday, confirmed the news, saying North Korea has sent a letter to them informing their withdrawal from the Women’s Football Qualifiers tournament, which was scheduled from February in South Korea. The global governing body of Football, FIFA is also aware of the decision.

The ongoing tensions and technically war-like situations, which ended in a truce and not a peace treaty between the two Korean countries in 1950 -53 is said to be the reason behind boycotting the match. Last year, there was a flurry of sports diplomacy between the two countries that have again cooled over stalled negotiations over the North’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.
