Called off at last minute

Pyongyang on Tuesday had to organize a joint elimination duel for World Cup 2026 and Asian Cup 2027 competitions between North Korea and Japan, but now we know that that will not happen.

Immediately after the third game this Thursday officials from the visiting team have notified Japan that they are not going to be able to stage the duel on home soil, thus various alternatives were searched. Because in a very short time is impossible to find a neutral arena, three days ago the world football organization has decided to suspend the match who "neither shall be played nor rescheduled" as the calendar is way too booked (for postponements to happen).

The disciplinary committee would now resolve this case that only tells that Japan will be awarded with a 3:0 victory.
