The Supreme Leader has ordered state-run television not to broadcast live games, and to only screen highlights of North Korea's victories.The ruling means that 99 per cent of the country's 29 million population will not be able to find out who wins the competition unless the 350-1, outsiders win it.
Games between other nations will be banned from the airwaves, while any highlights of North Korea's matches will be heavily edited to ensure that they look like the better team.
All advertising in the stadiums will also be blurred out – along with opposition fans, The Sun newspaper reported.
It is the first time that North Korea has qualified for the World Cup in 44 years.
