North Korean U-16 Goalkeeper and Coach Banned for 'Bringing Game into Disrepute'

North Korea's U16 goalkeeper has been banned from competing at next year's U17 World Cup for "bringing the game into disrepute", reports ESPN FC.

Jang Paek Ho went viral earlier this year after a video of his concession of a goal in a 3-1 defeat to Uzbekistan at the AFC Under-16 Championship in September was posted to YouTube.

The loss contributed to their runners-up finish in the group and face lower-ranked Oman in the next round.

And now he and North Korea under-16 team coach Yung Jong Su have been handed a 12-month suspension by the AFC, which will see them miss the showpiece event in India next October.
