North Korea doesn't have a technical sponsor

The North Koreans squad are playing the Asian Cup with an absolutely anonymous kit

North Korea doesn't have a technical sponsor The North Koreans squad are playing the Asian Cup with an absolutely anonymous kit

Last Sunday in the United Arab Emirates began the Asian Cup: among the participants, for the first time 24 teams, there are Heung-Min Son's South Korea, China coached by Marcello Lippi, the Philippines with Sven-Goran Eriksson on the bench, Australia without Cahill and Jedinak, Ali Adnan's Iraq, but also the modest North Korea. The team nicknamed 'Chollima' is included in group E with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Lebanon.

 

But the fact that was impossible not to notice during the debut match lost 4-0 against the Saudis is that apparently the North Korean team's shirt is brandless. In 2010 at the South African World Cup North Korea worn Legea, then from 2014 they signed a deal with a local company, Choeusu, but now it seems that footballers (including Perugia player Han Kwang-Song) wear a uniform, the red home and the white away, absolutely anonymous.
