The men’s and women’s first-division football competition of the DPRK Championships began on September 6.

The contest, which is also the third stage of the DPRK premier league football competition for 2023-2024, is being held on a round-robin basis, drawing more than 20 male and female first-division teams of the country.

Men’s matches between Kigwancha and Wolmido teams and between Amnokgang and Rimyongsu teams and women’s matches between Amnokgang and Ministry of Light Industry teams and between April 25 and Wolmido teams took place at Kim Il Sung Stadium in Pyongyang on September 10.

The men’s match started with the match between Kigwancha and Wolmido teams.

Prior to the match, both teams had clashed in the first and second stages of the premier league competition for 2023-2024. Kigwancha beat Wolmido 3-1 in the first stage and the latter defeated the former 2-1 in the second stage.

In the second minute of the game, Kigwancha lost a point by the opponent’s penalty kick.

But its players mounted diverse and positive attacks as they made quick break, frontal break-through based on two-man combination and fast dribbling in the penalty area of their opponents to turn the table, thus scoring goals in succession.

Player No. 9 of the Wolmido, which had tried to break through the left half side and to score by dint of centring, succeeded in scoring a goal in the 85th minute.

But the team failed to score any more and the game ended in 3-2 in favour of the Kigwancha.

Then there took place a match between the Amnokgang and Rimyongsu teams known as local powers.

The contest ended 0-0.

Prior to the male’s games, the Amnokgang and Ministry of Light Industry drew 0-0 and the April 25 beat the Wolmido 2-0 in the women’s matches.
