TOKYO : Japan has been declared the winner of its cancelled World Cup qualifying match against North Korea by forfeit, the sport's global governing body told the Japan Football Association on Saturday.
Hosts North Korea abruptly cancelled the match five days before it was due to be played, with the isolated country failing to give any reason. "The FIFA disciplinary committee informed us of its decision to forfeit this match as a 0-3 defeat for North Korea," the JFA said in a statement. They will now progress to the third stage of qualifying for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
