Three male and four female judokas from North Korea will join South Korean judokas for the mixed team event at the 2018 World Judo Championships, which will be held next week in Azerbaijan.

The mixed team event will be held on Sept. 27, the last day of the world championships, according to the Korean Judo Association.

Details about the unified team will be decided after Seoul and Pyongyang send their delegations to Azerbaijan, the KJA said.

The unified team from the Koreas will use the unification flag that depicts the Korean Peninsula, the KJA said.
