The North Korea national football team is the national team of North Korea and is controlled by the Football Association of The Democratic People's Republic of Korea. Their shining moment came in the 1966 World Cup, when North Korea upset Italy 1-0 to gain a spot in the quarterfinals. There, they went up 3-0 on Portugal, but the brilliance of Eusébio (and his four goals) stopped the fairy tale run, 5-3.
