South Korea will offer North Korea “two or three games” if it is awarded the 2022 World Cup to help ease the tension between the two countries, its bid chairman has revealed.
Han Sung-Joo told Reuters: "It [hosting the World Cup] will contribute greatly to not only the football game itself but to the international situation in and around the Korean peninsula.
"We have plans to arrange a couple of games – maybe two or three games to be played in the northern part of Korea.
"We don't know exactly what the situation will be by the year 2022 – we might be a unified country or we might still be a divided country. Either way it will be a good opportunity to bring North Korea into the mainstream of the world and it will contribute good relations between north and south."
