A tweet from the @VisitDPRK account revealed the surprising news on Sunday which then linked to an article on the Black Cats official website.

Tom Fowdy, a Sunderland fan who now lives in Pyongyang, is the first official member and is hoping to make Jack Ross’ side the biggest club in the Democratic People’s Republic.

We are proud to announce the launch of Sunderland A.F.C’s official North Korea Branch! All part of our ambition to turn the DPRK Red and White! #SAFC #Sunderland
