GLASGOW, Scotland — The North Korean women’s soccer team has refused to take the field for its match against Colombia at the Olympics because of a dispute about its flag at the stadium.
Officials at Hampden Park say the team wouldn’t take the field at the scheduled time. It was unclear what the dispute involved. The North Koreans still weren’t on the field 30 minutes after the start time. The Colombians also didn’t take the field.
The North Koreans did warm up on the field before the match.
