And no, this is not from The Onion.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino says he would be open to North Korea hosting a World Cup to help “unite the world”.
The Swiss-born chief said it was not beyond possibility that football’s showpiece event could one day take place in North Korea — and admitted he had previously tried to convince the isolated dictatorship to be involved as a FIFA tournament host.
Infantino, who is set to be re-elected for a third term, said: “FIFA is a global football organisation. We are football people, not politicians, and we want to bring people together.
“Any country can host an event. If North Korea wants to host something…
“I actually went to North Korea some years ago to ask the North Koreans if they were ready to host part of a Women’s World Cup with South Korea. Well, I was not successful, obviously, but I would go another 100 times if it would help.
“Only engagement can bring real change. We’re a global organisation and want to remain an organisation that unites the world."

I don’t watch soccer but this group is obviously composed of morons like the International Olympic Committee.

That moment you realize the Olympics were held in north korea this decade

Without looking at my list of 1,000 things North Korea and the rest of the world needs, it's a safe bet the World Cup is not listed on there.

I would suspect that way more than beer would be banned at this event.

Where the hell would you put everyone? Oh, right. In South Korea. Posted on 12/1/22 at 8:57 pm to Bench McElroy
You only thought FIFA/Soccer had jumped the shark.

Just complete insanity. They could never afford the bribes.

This dude is an utter fraud. The whole of FIFA makes the American government system look competent. Also,

Can you imagine that place trying to build massive stadiums?
That would be the best “it will never be ready in time” story of all time

If Kim Jong Un's soccer prowess is anything like his talent for golf, he'll lead the DPRK to victory
Posted on 12/1/22 at 10:44 pm to Bench McElroy
Great. So they will be overworking their malnutritioned citizens to build the infrastructure to handle the event? I have confidence they can pull it off 
Posted on 12/1/22 at 10:44 pm to Bench McElroy
FIFA would let Hell host if Satan signed the check
Posted on 12/1/22 at 10:50 pm to Bench McElroy
FIFA is like the bootleg fly by night roofing guy who shows up after a hurricane

Kim should have took Trumps offer to develop NK into the new Miami then he could have gotten the bid easy
