History
Ask anyone around Pyongyang about local football and Hwangryongsan Sports Club usually comes up sooner or later. Going back to 1978, the side has seen the game change around it while keeping a local core. Most seasons they line up in DPR Korea Football League 2, where results swing between hope and hard lessons. Matchdays revolve around Kim Il Sung Stadium (about 50,000 capacity), with the usual mix of season tickets, walk-ups and family groups. If football is a map of cities and towns, Hwangryongsan Sports Club is one clear pin in North Korea.
