The '''national football team of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea''' (recognized as '''Korea DPR''' by [[FIFA]]) is the national team of [[North Korea]] and is controlled by the [[DPR Korea Football Association]]. Their shining moment came in the [[Football World Cup 1966|1966 World Cup]] at [[Middlesbrough F.C.]] home [[Ayresome Park]], when North Korea upset [[Italy national football team|Italy]] 1-0 to gain a spot in the quarterfinals. There, they went 3-0 up against [[Portugal national football team|Portugal]], but the brilliance of [[Eusébio]] (and his four goals) stopped the fairy tale run, 5-3. The North Korean team was the first Asian team to progress beyond the first round of the World Cup finals. The [[documentary film]] ''[[The Game of Their Lives (2002 film)|The Game of Their Lives]]'' by [[Daniel Gordon]] is about the seven surviving members in 2002 of the 1966 national team.
The current team is composed of both native North Koreans and [[Zainichi Korean]]s born in [[Japan]], of which [[Ahn Young-Hak]] is the best known; due to the country's political situation, only Zainichi are allowed to join clubs in countries outside North Korea, and it is under their own terms, rather than through state intervention. Similarly, fans who follow the team when playing away matches are often Zainichi, as ordinary Northerners are usually not allowed to travel abroad.
The two Koreas faced each other in a 2010 FIFA World Cup 3rd round Asian Qualification match. It was originally planned to be held in Pyongyang on March 26, 2008. The North Korean government stepped in to decide the [[Aegukga|South's national anthem]] would not be played, nor would the DPRK allow the [[Flag of South Korea|South's national flag]] to be displayed at the game. South Korea was outraged by the decision. After three failed negotiation attempts by the South Korean football association, South Korea turned to FIFA for the official ruling. After FIFA intervention, the match was played in [[Shanghai, China]] on March 26, 2008, and it ended 0-0.
==2005 Pyongyang Riots==
In March of 2005 North Korea went into the match with [[Iran]] with limited chances of qualifying for the Finals due to poor performance in early fixtures. During the match hosted in Pyongyang, North Korean fans became enraged when the referee failed to award North Korea with a penalty kick after a controversial play near the end of the match. Demanding a penalty, they rushed Syrian referee [[Mohamed Kousa]], who instead gave a North Korean player a red card. Bottles, stones and chairs were thrown on to the field following the play. The game was viewed around the world on satellite television witnessing the rare display of civil disorder. Even after the match was over, North Korean fans refused to let the Iranian team leave the stadium on their team bus. The violence was so severe that riot police were forced to step in to force back the crowd<sup>1</sup>. Following this incident North Korea lost its right to host the following home match with Japan and the game was forced to be played in an empty stadium in [[Bangkok, Thailand]]. This is one of the most severe punishments ever handed down by [[FIFA]]<sup>2</sup>.
