SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's preparations for the Asian Cup have suffered a blow after the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) suspended head coach Yun Jong Su for 12 months.

Yun was suspended from all AFC competitions for "offensive behaviour" during the Asian Games final in Incheon in October when the North were beaten 1-0 by South Korea following a goal in the last minute of extra time.
