Good point. Qatar is beyond wealthy but North Korea repeatedly has to threaten to nuke people in order to get aid packages.
They have quite a lot of money, particularly in foreign currency slush funds (see Room 39 for example). However the Kim family has the final say in what is government money and what never makes it onto the books.
They could probably afford a FIFA championship. It's admitting they have that kind of money, that would be a huge problem.
And yet mfers still go in mass to these games in countries with extreme human rights issues and throw billions of dollars at merch.
uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
Uncritical support to the ideology of Juche and its implementation
Korea has lots of big stadiums and the people there seems to like football so why couldn't they host a world cup?
I don’t think the DPRK wants to give an opportunity to basically any country in the world to plant spies. Considering the US used visits of the Atomic Energy Commission to infiltrate the DPRK in the 90s, welcoming thousands and thousands of difficult to vet corporate reps sounds like an open invitation for infiltration.
so why couldn't they host a world cup?
Well according to a .world poster in this thread that you and I can't see from our instance, the DPRK has slaves. But don't worry, this won't happen because a lemmy.ca user thinks that "Letting that many foreigners into North Korea would be a PR disaster for the Country."

Many people are saying it!

Okay guys, enlighten me. If Nestle is a 10 on the evil scale, what is Fifa?
It's probably not logistically viable, but as a matter of principle, there is absolutely no reason why DPRK couldn't host to world cup. It's gone to plenty of worse countries.
Letting that many foreigners into North Korea would be a PR disaster for the Country.
Wtf based FIFA.
I've been off Hexbear for a while wtf is this shit
Seems like a clear improvement to me
Are you really suggesting the DPRK is worse than Qatar? Lmao.
Only the US will kill 20 percent of a population, establish a right wing military dictatorship in the south, and paint the democratic and progressive north as an evil regime worse than an absolute monarchy.
On a side note, what exactly are we censoring on that bottom photos.
Are we just censoring a bomb detonator box or are we censoring something else....
if you think a WC in NK would be worse than in Saudi Arabia you’re up to your eyeballs in amerikkkan propaganda
Death to America
Nuke dropped if a western country wins
