About this person

Kim Myong-gil was part of the North Korean national team registered for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, held in South Africa from 11 June to 11 July. The tournament required each of the 32 nations to submit a preliminary squad of 30 players by 11 May, then trim to a final 23 by 1 June. North Korea's roster that summer made history as the only team with just one player drawn from a European club - Hong Yong-jo - while Kim Myong-gil and his teammates came from elsewhere. The squad endured a mandatory rest period in late May before the opening match, part of FIFA's protocol for all sides except those involved in the Champions League final. His name remains in the ledger of a tournament where, for the first time, every competing nation carried at least one European-based player.
