NORTH Korea have qualified for the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa following a goalless draw in Saudi Arabia.
It is the first time the country has made it through to the finals since the 1966 event in England – when they famously defeated Italy 1-0. The result in Riyadh was enough for the North Koreans to progress from the Asian qualifying section after rivals Iran were only able to draw 1-1 in South Korea.
