A unified team of North and South Korea has played at certain sports competitions under the name Korea.

History[edit]

Since the conclusion of the Korean War, North and South Korea have existed as separate countries, with both claiming to be the sole legitimate government of all Korea. Both nations participate in international sport as individual countries; unified teams are exceptions to this practice rather than the norm. Joint teams have been seen as geopolitical gestures.^[1]

A unified team under the name Korea (KOR) competed in 1991 World Table Tennis Championships and FIFA World Youth Championship with athletes from both North and South Korea. In 1991, the team used the Unification Flag and the anthem "Arirang".^[2]^[3]

At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang in South Korea, the Koreas marched together at the Parade of Nations under the Unification Flag.^[4] A unified team played in the women's ice hockey tournament as Korea under the IOC country code COR, using the Unification Flag and the "Arirang" anthem. For other disciplines, the two Koreas retained separate national teams.^[5] At the 2018 World Team Table Tennis Championships, the two Koreas entered separate teams, but when they were paired against each other at the quarter-final of the women's event, they negotiated instead to field a joint team for the semifinal, with the agreement of the International Table Tennis Federation.^[6]

The two Koreas also initially agreed to form a unified Korea team at the 2018 East Asian Judo Championships in Mongolia.^[7] Plans to compete under a unified flag were eventually scrapped due to a dispute over the flag.^[8]

Four unified teams also participated in the international table tennis event, 2018 Korea Open. The unified Korean women's doubles team won gold, the first gold medal won by a unified Korean team since the 1991 World Table Tennis Championships, while the unified men's doubles team won bronze.^[9]

FIBA allowed the participation of unified Korean team at the 2019 FIBA Women's Asia Cup.^[10] However, no unified Korean team entered the basketball tournament.

Names[edit]

In English, the team is named Korea, a term shared between North Korea and South Korea.

In East Asian languages where the names of the countries are significantly different (North Korea's 조선/朝鮮/Chosŏn versus South Korea's 한국/韓國/Hanguk), the team name uses an English transliteration. For example, during the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea, the team used the name 코리아 Koria; and during the 1991 World Table Tennis Championships in Japan, the team used the name コリア Koria.

During the 2007 Asian Winter Games opening ceremony in China where North and South Korea marched together, their placard displayed only the English name "Korea", with no Chinese-language name present. All other teams' placards displayed an English-language name over a Chinese-language name. The parade order was unaffected as it used English alphabetical order. There were no announcers present to call out the names of any of the teams, only commentators.^[15]^[16]

During the 2005 East Asian Games opening ceremony in Macau, North and South Korea also marched together and their placard displayed the English name "Korea".^[17]^[18]

+==Names==
+In English, the team is named ''Korea'', a term shared between North Korea and South Korea.
+In East Asian languages where the names of the countries are significantly different (North Korea's 조선/朝鮮/''Chosŏn'' versus South Korea's 한국/韓國/''Hanguk''), the team name uses an English transliteration. For example, during the [[2018 Winter Olympics]] in South Korea, the team used the name 코리아 ''Koria''; and during the [[1991 World Table Tennis Championships]] in Japan, the team used the name コリア ''Koria''.
+During the [[2007 Asian Winter Games]] opening ceremony in China where North and South Korea marched together, their placard displayed only the English name "Korea", with no Chinese-language name present. All other teams' placards displayed an English-language name over a Chinese-language name. The parade order was unaffected as it used English alphabetical order. There were no announcers present to call out the names of any of the teams, only commentators.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/1XW8BpNtAI8 Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150810142733/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XW8BpNtAI8 Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite AV media| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XW8BpNtAI8| title = Asian Winter Games 2007 Changchun | via=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1vW411772d|title = 【开幕式】2007长春亚冬会开幕式_哔哩哔哩_bilibili}}</ref>
