TEMBISA, South Africa — The North Korean World Cup squad has held its fourth training session in South Africa but foreign reporters are yet to be allowed in.
The media-shy North Koreans, making just a second World Cup appearance and first since 1966, worked out Saturday at the Makhulong Stadium in the township of Tembisa, near Johannesburg.
Access was only granted to a North Korean TV crew and FIFA’s TV unit as Kim Jong Hun’s squad prepared for a friendly against Nigeria at the Makhulong on Sunday.
FIFA is thought to be taking a “softly softly” approach to North Korea and its media commitments but the team from the secretive communist country is required to allow journalists in five days before its first match—against Brazil on June 15.
