They have quite a lot of money, particularly in foreign currency slush funds (see Room 39 for example). However the Kim family has the final say in what is government money and what never makes it onto the books.

They could probably afford a FIFA championship. It's admitting they have that kind of money, that would be a huge problem.

I think it depends what you mean by "afford", they might have enough money stashed away to host one time but it's going to seriously take away from their future

NK has never chosen their future or basic needs over useless megaprojects though
