A North Korean football team will play a match in South Korea, the first sports trip since 2018.

Naegohyang club will face South Koreans from Suwon in the Asian Champions League semi-final at the end of May.

On the same field, but still opponents: a North Korean women’s football team will play in South Korea on May 20 against a local club for the North’s first sports trip to the country since 2018, Seoul announced on Monday. The two neighbors are technically still at war, with their conflict ending in 1953 with an armistice and not a peace treaty.

According to the South Korean Unification Ministry, responsible for relations with Pyongyang, North Korean authorities have sent a “notification regarding a delegation of 39 people” from the Naegohyang women’s club, who will face Suwon’s South Koreans in the Asian Champions League semi-final, the region’s premier tournament.

The ministry did not specify the team’s arrival date, which will include 27 players and 12 club members. The winner will face either Australia’s Melbourne City or Japan’s Tokyo Verdy Beleza in the final, still in South Korea, on May 23. “The team that loses the semi-final will return home on May 21, with no third-place match scheduled,” the ministry said in a press release.

This match is set to be the first sports team from North Korea to travel to the South since 2018 when junior football, shooting, and table tennis delegations made the trip. The last visit by a North Korean women’s football team dates back to 2014 when the national team participated in the Asian Games in Incheon.

North Korean national teams are among the most successful on the continent, with several international trophies in recent years, widely praised by state propaganda. Last November, the U-17s retained their title in the FIFA Women’s World Cup by defeating the Netherlands 3-0. The U-20s are also reigning champions. The senior team is ranked 11th in the world, just behind Japan (5th) in Asia.
