North Korean women’s soccer team arrives in South Korea for the first time in over 7 years
In a rare breakthrough after years of frozen relations, North Korea’s women’s soccer team has arrived in South Korea for the first time in over seven years. The 39 players, hailed as national heroes by Kim Jong Un and under tight supervision, landed at Incheon Airport Sunday and will face Suwon FC Women in a high-stakes Asian Club Cup semifinal. With no direct talks between the two governments, the visit raises hopes that football and joint cheer squads can spark a rare moment of goodwill. CNN’s Will Ripley reports.
