(9 Nov 2017) After three delays, football players from North Korea and Malaysia said on Thursday that they are ready for their Asian Cup qualifier matches which are to be held at the Buriram Stadium, in northeast Thailand. The November 10 match is designated as North Korea's home game and the November 13 match will be Malaysia's home game. The neutral venue was chosen by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the Asian football body, after delays and travel bans prevented players from Malaysia from entering Pyongyang. Malaysia's head coach Eduardo Manuel Martinho Vingado, said he thought it was "the best and good decision" to play in Thailand. North Korea's head coach Jorn Anderson said that playing in Thailand in high temperatures so different from their home country would be a disadvantage for his team, but that they would be ready to play. The game between the two teams was first delayed due to diplomatic tensions between North Korea and Malaysia during an investigation into the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's estranged half-brother in Kuala Lumpur. It was delayed again in June after the AFC cited security risks amid missile tests by North Korea. Then, Malaysia last month banned its citizens from travelling to North Korea which forced the AFC to postpone the match that had been scheduled for October 5 in Pyongyang. This week's matches will be held at Thunder Castle, home of Buriram United, who just celebrated their big win in the Thailand Toyota League on Wednesday.
