About this person
Ri Kwang-hyok was named to North Korea's final 23-man roster for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, submitted by the June 1 deadline after the preliminary 30-player squad was announced in May. The tournament ran from June 11 to July 11 in South Africa, and North Korea's squad was notable for having just one player from a European club - Hong Yong-jo - marking the first World Cup where every participating nation had at least some European representation. Ri's inclusion meant he was among the players subjected to the mandatory rest period from May 17 to 23, and he remained eligible to play until the team's first match, when the injury replacement window closed.
