ZURICH - FIFA has cancelled the North Korea-Japan World Cup qualifier scheduled for Tuesday in Pyongyang.
FIFA on Saturday "decided that the qualifying fixture shall neither be played nor rescheduled" because North Korea couldn't come up with an alternative venue and there was no room in the calendar for a postponement.
"The matter and match outcome will be referred to the FIFA disciplinary committee," it added, which suggested North Korea will be sanctioned with a 3-0 forfeit.
North Korea said it couldn't host Japan and requested a neutral venue "due to unavoidable circumstances," the Asian Football Confederation said without elaborating.
