The Asian Cup qualification tie has been rescheduled to June, just days before the scheduled Matchday 2 of the competition.
The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has announced that the postponed North Korea-Malaysia Asian Cup qualification group match will be played on June 8 at a neutral venue.
North Korea will have until April 14 to find a neutral venue for the match, says AFC secretary-general Datuk Windsor Paul John. However he added that the need for a neutral venue will depend on the diplomatic situation between the two countries.
"We've given them until April 14 to come back to us with the neutral venue, in the event that the diplomatic situation (between North Korea and Malaysia) is not solved," said John in a press conference at the AFC headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, on Wednesday.
