North Korea
Since North Korea’s qualification for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa there has been a significant amount of interest in the new North Korea kit. Part of this was because North Korea had played in 5 different shirts in 2010, all made by 4 different sponsors. Lotto, Pirma and Astore provided kits for North Korea, whilst they had to make do with Venezuela’s away shirt (made by Adidas) in a friendly. They finally agreed a 4 year sponsorship deal with Italian based Legea but shirts were not made available until North Korea had already exited the tournament.

To keep the costs of my project down I decided not to go for the newly released Legea shirt, but instead took Subside Sports up on their £29.99 offfer.

Pohnpei
Pohnpei – Home – 2009
Pohnpei were until recently the lowest ranked country in the world, according to the ELO rankings. Englishmen Paul Watson has decided to train the team, and bring them up the World Rankings. This has brought a lot of media attention to Pohnpei, one of the four main states of Micronesia. There is hope that Micronesia’s national football team may reform. That’ll make my target 209!
Shirts are available for £35 vis the Pohnpei website.
