Kim Myong-won (footballer)

Kim Myong-won (; born 15 July 1983) is a North Korean professional footballer who plays as a striker.

International career

Kim has played on nine occasions for the North Korean national team since his first appearance in 2003, and has been called up to their 23-man squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Kim Myong-won was registered as one of his team's three goalkeepers—as per tournament rules, all squads must nominate three eligible keepers. FIFA ruled, however, that because of his registration, Kim Myong-won would only be allowed to play as a goalkeeper, and not as an outfield player as had originally been intended. It has also been reported that he actually played as a goalkeeper for his club at least once.
