DPR Korea create history

Santo Domingo: DPR Korea defeated Spain 4-3 on penalties after the final finished 1-1 to lift the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Dominican Republic 2024 title at the Felix Sanchez Stadium on Sunday.

The AFC U17 Women's Asian Cup™ champions faced their greatest challenge yet, overcoming a second half deficit to force spot-kicks, where they emerged superior to win their record third U-17 Women’s World Cup crown, having also emerged champions in 2006 and 2016.

The triumph completed an impressive double, with DPR Korea having won the FIFA U-20 Women's World Colombia 2024 title in September, the second time the East Asians have lifted both trophies in the same year.
