AI Summary (NQ-processed)
The coach of the first North Korean sports team to visit South Korea in eight years stated they are "only here to play football," avoiding politically sensitive questions at a press conference on May 19. The team, Naegohyang Women's FC, is set to play South Korea's Suwon FC Women in the AFC Women's Champions League semi-final. The rare inter-Korean match has garnered high interest, with tickets selling out rapidly. The Seoul government has funded civic groups to cheer for both teams, though discussions are underway on how to do so without violating the National Security Law, which bans the North Korean flag.
