North Korea to host Brazil club
SEOUL: North Korea will host a World Cup warm-up match against Brazilian club Atletico Sorocaba next month, South Korean media reported.
Atletico Sorocaba, who play in Sao Paulo state’s Campeonato Paulista League, will travel to the reclusive communist state for the match on Nov 5 at Pyongyang’s May Day Stadium, Yonhap news agency said, citing an organiser.
