Indeed a problematic match

At first the visitors did not want to play because they feared for their safety. At the start of the month it was decided that this duel would be played 5 days before the second round in Pyongyang. As that was not enough, the confederation has now turned the page...once again.
Now the 'historical' first round game from the Asian cup qualifiers for United Arab Emirates 2019 which was scheduled FINALLY to be played next month has been suspended again. At last the Asian football confederation decision is now determined: due to high political tensions on the Korean peninsula, North Korea - Malaysia will be played in the second part of 2017 - 05 October (of course if conditions are permitted).
