Tickets for the match between Suwon FC Women and North Korea’s Naegohyang Women’s Football Team — the first North Korean delegation to visit the South in eight years — sold out in about 12 hours. Suwon FC said all 7,087 general-admission seats that went on sale at 2 p.m. on the 12th were snapped up in just over 12 hours. The two teams will meet at 7 p.m. on the 20th at Suwon Sports Complex. The Unification Ministry pledged 300 million KRW (approximately $225,000) to cover cheering expenses, and domestic civic groups have formed a joint supporters’ squad. A large, vocal turnout is expected. Yonhap News TV inquiries and tips: KakaoTalk/LINE jebo23 Shin Hyun-jung (hyunspirit@yna.co.kr)
