On Friday, the Asian Football Confederation said it imposed a 12-month ban on Jang Paek Ho and North Korea under-16 team coach Yung Jong Su.

“The effect of the match suspensions also means that Yung and Jang are now suspended from the FIFA U-17 World Cup,” the Asian body said.

The U-17 World Cup will be played in India next October.
