North Korea women's national softball team
North Korea women's national softball team is the national team for North Korea. The team competed at the 2006 ISF Women's World Championship in Beijing, China where they finished thirteenth.[1][2]
In 1990, the women's softball team from North Korea played against South Korea for the first time in the Beijing Asian Games, after North Korea had boycotted the Seoul Olympics and the Seoul Asian Games.[3] When the two team's fans met, they cheered for political reunification.[3]
In 2001, North Korea won only one game and finished fifth among six teams during the Asian qualifying round for the 2002 World Women's Softball Championships.[4] North Korea then brought in a coach from Cuba to train the team, "surprising" World No.2-ranked Japan at the championships with an outstanding performance from pitcher Kim Song who allowed only one run.[4]
