Hong Myung-bo, General Secretary at the Korea Football Association (KFA) said FIFA first mentioned the joint Korean bid about a month ago when KFA President Chung Mong-gyu was attending a FIFA meeting. However, Hong said there was no official proposal from FIFA and the KFA has yet to talk with the North Korean side.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino earlier said that a joint World Cup bid by North and South Korea would be a very positive undertaking.
