'It has this shape due to the rotation of the wind within the cloud,' the agency said This system usually lasts for a few hours.'  Turibio recalled approaching the massive storm as she drove: 'I was very afraid' Despite fears from residents throughout the region São Paulo authorities did not report any injuries or damage  São Paulo authorities did not report any injuries or damage One resident joked the dark clouds were the work of US President Donald Trump had raised the idea of an 'economic development plan' following Trump's election win in November 'The mayor of Sorocaba shouted for Trump to come to the city He first sent the tornado,' the person joked The comments below have not been moderated By posting your comment you agree to our house rules Do you want to automatically post your MailOnline comments to your Facebook Timeline Your comment will be posted to MailOnline as usual We will automatically post your comment and a link to the news story to your Facebook timeline at the same time it is posted on MailOnline To do this we will link your MailOnline account with your Facebook account We’ll ask you to confirm this for your first post to Facebook You can choose on each post whether you would like it to be posted to Facebook.

It reads “PRK 0-0 BRA”. That’s North Korea vs Brazil The home team represented the most closed-off nation in the world a military dictatorship which has been shrouded in mystery for decades That’s where things get even more complicated North Korea hosting Brazil at the Kim Il-Sung Stadium would have been a major geopolitical event You would have heard about it if it had happened a tiny club side from a satellite town 80 kilometres north west of Sao Paulo Theirs was a squad of journeymen and part-timers none of whom could believe their eyes when they walked out of the tunnel and looked up at the scoreboard “It was clear that the North Korean regime wanted the word ‘Brazil’ to appear there,” says Waldir Cipriani “But we were just a Brazilian team who wore yellow.” whose greatest claim to fame was reaching the last 16 of the Brazilian championship back in 1979 had only been around since the early 1990s and had never made it higher than the third division nationally Their matches — low-level affairs in the regional leagues mainly — rarely drew more than a couple of thousand fans If the very notion of a Brazilian club team landing an away fixture against North Korea seems a bit far-fetched the idea of that team being Atletico Sorocaba… well we’re so far into the realm of the absurd that we’re going to need a map to get out again we need to go back to the early 2000s when Atletico were acquired by a South Korean investment group led by Sun Myung Moon — or Moon was the founder of the Unification Church a religious movement that stressed the importance of the family and proclaimed Moon himself to be the second coming of Christ To call the church controversial would be to undersell it; the ‘Criticisms’ section of its Wikipedia page runs to 7,000 words was found guilty of tax fraud by a United States federal grand jury in 1982 thousands of South Koreans relocated to the region at his behest Sorocaba — around 100km from Sao Paulo and with a population of around a million — was seen as a useful staging post a prominent figure within the church structure in Brazil Cipriani subsequently became the club’s vice president “Reverend Moon invested in football because he had a vision,” Cipriani tells The Athletic “He believed that football was the cure for human hatred He used to say that you forget about your enemy when you’re running after a ball “He especially liked the characteristics of Brazilian football — the playfulness He believed that Brazilian football would help him Whatever Moon’s motivations, he could not be accused of thinking small. His largesse allowed Atletico to renovate their training complex and the result was so impressive that Algeria would later choose it as their base for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil Atletico would play numerous games in South Korea over the years despite their relative irrelevance on their own domestic scene No team from outside the Asian Football Confederation had ever played there The first was North Korea’s qualification for the 2010 World Cup A team that had had little motivation to leave its bubble in 43 years — their previous World Cup appearance had been in 1966 — now needed a crash course in the global game “North Korea were interested in getting experience of Latin American football,” explains Cipriani “There was this pressure from the government who wanted the team to do well at the tournament The team performing well was going to be good for the country “This was just one month before the final draw They had been trying to organise friendlies but which other country was going to go to the effort of going to North Korea whose background provided motive and opportunity Moon was born in 1920 in what would become North Korea He was imprisoned in a North Korean labour camp for two years in 1948 only moving to South Korea after being liberated by United Nations troops during the Korean War Moon was staunchly opposed to communism — “especially atheistic Marxism,” says Cipriani — but still cultivated links with Kim Il-sung the supreme leader of North Korea between 1948 and 1994 “I learnt the essence of Christianity from him,” says Cipriani “People speak a lot about loving your enemy but hate the thing that makes him your enemy — love the ill Kim Il-sung authorised Reverend Moon to build a car factory and acquire a five-star hotel (in North Korea) we had great contacts in the North Korean ministry of sport.” “Brazil was in a honeymoon period with North Korea,” says Cipriani “Lula da Silva (Brazil’s president at the time) had opened an embassy there earlier in the year and the ambassador liked socialism We never discussed it because he showed us a lot of hospitality Our objectives were sporting and diplomatic It is impossible to know whether Moon’s opportunism was truly in service of improved relations between North Korea and South Korea or merely part of a wider strategy for himself and his church it was adventure time for Atletico Sorocaba “I didn’t even know there were two different Koreas,” Leandro Silva says with a grin one of a handful of players who had come through the youth ranks at the club Atletico’s players did not know they were going to North Korea The plan was to play games in China and South Korea a fun little jaunt that would help them prepare for the 2010 season The news that they might be taking a detour came late in the day; they were already in Beijing by the time their visas were finally approved a novelty,” is how Cipriani describes the chance to go to Pyongyang but not everyone was quite so animated by the prospect “My first reaction was one of shock and fear,” recalls Silva “I tried to find out a bit about North Korea but I could only see bad news food shortages… everyone said it was a country at war “I thought about what it would mean to be there when something happened They (club officials) explained everything to the players but we were worried.” The journey to Pyongyang did not exactly settle the nerves “We set off from China on this aeroplane… this ugly There were suitcases rattling around in the back and others strapped to the roof outside The plane bounced and wobbled the whole way.” summed up the situation in an interview with GloboEsporte: “Have you ever seen an aeroplane stuck together with superglue A frosty reception awaited them at the airport “Soldiers everywhere… it felt like you were arriving at a concentration camp,” Marangon told Record TV “It was like we had taken a space shuttle to another planet.” The players and staff were asked to hand over their electronic devices Mobile phones were confiscated and put into storage at the airport; laptops and cameras were inspected as if they were bombs home of a 22-metre-high statue of Kim Il-sung It was the first of a series of excursions to important North Korean cultural sites “Our itinerary there was decided down to the last millimetre,” says Cipriani That first drive through Pyongyang left a mark on Silva “It was like something from a film about the old days,” he says “There were men crouched down on their haunches There were people working on plantations and no kids out playing You could see in people’s faces that their lives were dedicated to work The players laid down flowers at the monument had a brief look at the pitch they would be playing on two days later they were shadowed by North Korean officials in long coats “We couldn’t do anything without an escort someone would follow you and wait outside the cubicle door.” He found the entire experience deeply unsettling “I asked God to let me see the sea one more time,” he told Brazilian website UOL “I didn’t know whether I’d ever leave that place.” They tried to make things from our cuisine: rice It was a long way from the Brazilian food we were used to The hotel staff didn’t understand anything we said and we didn’t understand them either Waldir Cipriani understood a bit of Korean There was also a microphone in the dining room and we would sing Brazilian songs and dance a bit Atletico trained for two hours on the Kim Il-Sung Stadium’s artificial pitch They were studied throughout by the North Korean players and coaching staff “We had no information about the team we were playing,” says Cipriani after a little more obligatory tourism (a visit to a museum dedicated to Kim Il-sung’s fight against the Japanese) the Atletico players returned to the stadium they were confronted with scenes that would have made even an international footballer draw breath with 80,000 people inside and 20,000 more outside… well you can imagine their reaction,” says Cipriani and while most estimates put the capacity of the Kim Il-Sung Stadium at around 50,000 I think they wanted to see different people — people of a different race ‘sold’ to the North Korean people as a historic meeting with the most successful nation in World Cup history “I think that’s the story they told the people there,” goalkeeper Klayton Scudeler said in an interview with Radio Novelo I think people thought we were the Brazil team and that’s why it was so rammed.” “They created this political propaganda,” he says “The regime wanted people to see North Korea beat Brazil before the World Cup.” is that the letters ‘BRA’ up on the scoreboard lent the occasion an extra dose of prestige “When I saw the scoreboard and looked at us all wearing yellow kit… it was cool but I also felt this responsibility,” says Silva “I felt like I was playing for the Selecao (another name for the Brazil national side) “We had to put on a performance that honoured our country,” he said that sense of patriotism was tempered by pragmatism but we were joking around before kick-off,” says Silva We thought a draw would make everyone happy.” North Korea were better than they expected “We didn’t expect North Korea to be the best technically They must have trained with the military because physically they were very strong who cheered enthusiastically when North Korea had the ball and were eerily quiet when Atletico were in possession “It was like they were organised or controlled like they were following rules,” Silva says “It wasn’t the kind of energy you get from fans in other countries and it wasn’t this big mix of colours “It was clearly the work of the state,” he says you click your fingers and you fill the stadium If you decide that this school will send 50 students that other groups and factories will do the same… it was a state directive to fill the stadium “There was no comparison with a stadium in Brazil There was this deathly silence when we had the ball over a celebratory meal at one of his residences in South Korea Moon thanked the players for their efforts — and for the result “He said that the North Koreans would have been really angry if we had won,” Cipriani recalls A month after Atletico’s trip to Pyongyang Brazil were drawn in the same World Cup group as North Korea A story that had been doing the rounds in the local press went national All of the major Brazilian newspapers got in touch with Marangon did Brazil manager Dunga and his technical staff “They didn’t know anything at all about the North Korean team,” says Cipriani Brazil were set to play North Korea and Atletico Sorocaba knew more than they did.” Silva looks back on that period with great fondness “People wanted to know about their best players The fact we went there ended up being a big deal “When the World Cup began I was getting so many messages from friends and family I remember watching the (Brazil vs North Korea) game and telling my friends Atletico made three more journeys to North Korea: the senior side visited in 2010 and 2011 and the under-15s took part in a youth tournament in 2015 “It was different each time,” says Cipriani “But by (the second visit) they had realised they weren’t playing the Brazil national team just a small club from Sao Paulo state with a yellow away kit.” Cipriani stepped away from the club in 2014 with financial support from the Unification Church having dried up in the wake of Moon’s death “I still have a North Korea shirt from that game — the number two “I’ve been offered a lot of money for that shirt They were very special moments in my career There are so many famous players and teams in the world who have never done what we did Brazilian journalist Renato Alves visited North Korea in September 2017 He was taken on a 10-day propaganda tour and was accompanied everywhere by three guides One of the sights on his itinerary was the Arch of Triumph a huge structure aping the Parisian landmark of the same name one of the officials accompanying Alves pointed to the Kim Il-Sung Stadium our eternal president made his first speech after liberating the Korean people from Japanese imperialists,” he said and it was also there that Brazil played against our national football team (Top photos: Waldir Cipriani; design: Eamonn Dalton) Jack Lang is a staff writer for The

1920 spent five years in a North Korean prison camp from 1947 after being accused of spying for the South and later in life became a successful businessman and notable campaigner for the reunification of the Koreas He was convicted of tax evasion in the United States and somehow managed to maintain personal relationships with Richard Nixon Moon was the founder of a controversial religion (some say cult) which became famous for its mass wedding ceremonies Moon was not just the leader of the church Here’s a line from the Divine Principle a book he co-wrote outlining the principles of the Unification Church: “With the fullness of time God has sent one person to this earth to resolve the fundamental problems of human life and the universe And, if it is not immediately obvious – which it really should be, but just in case it’s not – Moon’s resolution to “the fundamental problems of human life and the universe” involved sending a Brazilian lower-league team to North Korea purporting to be the Selecao The Brazilian lower-league team in question was Atletico Sorocaba from the city of Sorocaba in Sao Paulo state and the jaunt to the world’s most socially and politically isolated nation took place in November 2009 Moon was looking to increase the presence of his Unification Church in Brazil and sent thousands of his followers to the country to spread the word He had already founded a football club in South Korea and must have thought that he could use the sport as a tool to gain traction in South America’s largest country Moon kept a line of communication open with the North Korean dictatorship as part of his efforts to reunite the peninsula Moon spoke with Kim Il-sung – even attending his funeral in 1994 – and the channel remained open with his successor Kim Jong-il North Korea had qualified for the World Cup the following year and wanted to play teams from other continents to get used to unfamiliar styles of play With friendlies against the world’s more prestigious national teams off the cards for political reasons Moon saw the opportunity and used his contacts to organise for Atletico Sorocaba to go and face the North Korean national team in Pyongyang READ: Remembering North Korea’s attempt to disguise a striker as a ‘keeper at WC10 it was a rare opportunity to see the nation of his birth open up to foreigners sending a Brazilian sports team halfway across the world was part of his mission to reunite the two Koreas and Yet for the Atletico Sorocaba coaching staff and squad one can only imagine that going to play in such a repressive state was a frightening prospect They travelled via China and boarded a North Korean plane that was “Have you ever seen a plane [patched up] with epoxy resin I have,” Atletico masseuse Sidnei Gramatico told Globoesporte in 2017 “It gave you the feeling of being in a concentration camp,” then Atletico manager Edu Marangon told Record TV shortly after their return The brutal regime’s soldiers relieved them of their passports and many of their material possessions “They took everything,” defender Leandro da Silva later told UOL Esporte everything that could give you internet access Soon the squad were whisked off to the Pyongyang hotel where they would stay for the duration of their visit watched 24 hours a day by state security guards you have to think twice about where you’re heading,” Marangon told Record The lights in the entire city went off at 9pm each night The only things that remained illuminated were the hotel and the grand statues of the country’s Supreme Leaders “What most shocked me,” Marangon continued they were taken around the city under strict supervision allowed to visit the various monuments to Supreme Leaders Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il they trained in the national stadium as the North Korean squad watched on where tens of thousands of people had already gathered Used to playing in front of crowds of a few thousand or fewer But when they walked out onto the pitch in front of 80,000 people they realised why there were so many in attendance “As they’d never received a Brazilian team,” Leandro da Silva told UOL “for them it was the Brazilian national team there The government sent the people to watch the game and we ended up representing Brazil.” According to Marangon: “When the Korean team had the ball it was like the stadium was completely empty.” Atletico battled to a 0-0 draw – a respectable result for a club of their stature against a national team that had qualified for a World Cup It is not the sort of game that any visiting team would want to win by a large margin “Reverendo Moon wanted us to win,” Atletico’s vice-president Waldir Cipriani told Globoesporte “It was only later he contented himself [with the result] He offered us an excellent lunch at his palace in South Korea and said it was better to have drawn because that way we didn’t have any problems getting out There were a lot of soldiers in the stands.” back to play their games in the comfortable mediocrity of the Sao Paulo state second tier ended up facing the actual Selecao at the World Cup in South Africa a little over six months later going down courtesy of a Maicon wondergoal Yet 2009 was not the last time Atletico travelled to North Korea this time as Atletico Sorocaba rather than Brazil and an Atletico Under-15 side travelled in 2015 “Atletico Sorocaba is a friend of North Korea,” Cipriani told Globoesporte “The boss was born there and… wanted football for peace ‘Let’s create a project to use Brazilian football as a symbol of peace in my homeland.'” he passed away in 2012 without getting the peace and unification he desired And though Atletico Sorocaba managed to stumble on for few years without him the absence of his
