Player Profile
North Korea were sensationally told by Fifa on 3 June that Kim Myong-won will only be able to play as a goalkeeper at the World Cup and not in his usual role as a striker.
Coach Kim Jong-Hun named the Amrokgang forward in his 23-man squad in the slot reserved for a third-choice goalkeeper, but football’s governing body told him that it is not allowed and Kim Myong-won will only be able to play at the World Cup in goal.
“The three players listed as goalkeepers can only play as goalkeepers during the World Cup and cannot play outfield,” said Fifa.
He made three substitute appearances during qualifying, playing for a total of 12 minutes. He was brought on for a striker in each of those three appearances against Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
