The Unification Flag is used to represent all of Korea when North and South Korea participate together in sporting events. The flag was first used in 1991 when the two countries competed as a single team in the 41st World Table Tennis Championship in Chiba , Japan and the 6th World Youth Soccer Championship in Lisbon , Portugal . The two countries' teams marched together under the flag in the opening ceremonies of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney , the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens , the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin , and the 2006 Asian Games in Doha ; however, the two countries competed separately in sporting events. It is likely the two countries will march under the same flag again in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing , China . The flag represents North and South Korea. The background is white. In the centre there is a blue outline of the of either country. SEE ALSO
