North Korea is a place where you don't want to put a foot wrong and they were very secretive about who they were sending to South Africa for the World Cup next month, but FIFA today released the preliminary squad list for every country so we can now publish the one for North Korea.
What we can tell you is that only three players on this list play outside of North Korea; An Yong-hak and Jong Tae-se, who play in Japan for Omiya Ardija and Kawasaki Frontale and Hong Yong-jo, who plays for Russian side FK Rostov.
Apart from that, there is very little we can tell you. We can't even tell you what position the rest play in.
We are hoping that one of the eight people in North Korea with access to the internet will drop us an email or leave a comment below with the position each player plays in.
So, for your information, the squad below for North Korea, in no particular order.
Kim Myong-gil, Kim Myong-won (both Amrokgang), Ri Myong-guk (Pyongyang City); An Chol-hyok (Rimyongsu), An Yong-hak (Omiya Ardija), Cha Jong-hyok (Amrokgang), Choe Kum-chol (April 25), Hong Yong-jo (FK Rostov), Ji Yun-nam (April 25), Jong Tae-se (Kawasaki Frontale), Kim Hum-il (April 25), Kim Kyong-il (Rimyongsu), Kim Yong-jun (Pyongyang City), Mun In-guk, Nam Song-chol (both April 25), Pak Chol-jin (Amrokgang), Pak Nam-chol (April 25), Pak Nam-chol (Amrokgang), Pak Sung-hyok (Sobaeksu), Ri Chol-myong (Pyongyang City), Ri Jun-il (Sobaeksu), Ri Kwang-chon (April 25), Ri Kwang-hyok (Kyonggongop).
North Korea, or Korea DPR as we refer to them on this site, are in Group G, up against Brazil, Ivory Coast and Portugal. We don't fancy their chances very much.
