Rimyongsu Sports Club

Rimyŏngsu Sports Club (Korean: 리명수체육단; MR: Rimyŏngsu Ch'eyuktan) is a North Korean football club, based in Sariwŏn. Despite never winning the DPR Korea League, Rimyŏngsu supplied four players to the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship and five players to the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, more than any other North Korean club. Like the Amrokkang Sports Club, Rimyŏngsu is affiliated with the Ministry of People's Security.[1] It was named after General Ri Myŏng-su.

"Rimyongsu" redirects here. For the general, see Ri Myong-su.
