Rimyŏngsu Sports Club (Korean: 리명수체육단) is a North Korean professional football club based in Sariwŏn. Despite never winning the DPR Korea League, Rimyŏngsu supplied four players to the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship and five players to the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, more than any other North Korean club. Like the Amrokkang Sports Club, Rimyŏngsu is affiliated with the Ministry of People's Security.[1] It was named after General Ri Myŏng-su.
In 2014, Rimyongsu got to the final of the AFC President's Cup, but lost to HTTU Aşgabat of Turkmenistan 2-1.[2]
Forward Kang Kuk-chol was one of the top scorers in the 2015 edition of the Poch'ŏnbo Torch Prize.[3]
In 2022, Rimyongsu won their first Hwaebul Cup after defeating 4.25 SC 2–1 with a goal from Jong Il-gwan in the second half.[4]
