Football officials today denied reports that North Korean labourers were working on football stadiums across South Africa in preparation for the World Cup.
South Korea’s JoongAng Ilbo newspaper reported yesterday that about 1,000 construction workers from reclusive North Korea, which maintains strict control on its citizens’ travels, have been sent to help build and renovate stadiums across South Africa.
World Cup officials and construction firms in South Africa today dismissed the South Korean newspaper report as “groundless”, saying not a single North Korean worker was involved, according to South Korea’s Yonhap news agency.
