North Korean football continues to dominate the world in the youth arena.

North Korea's U17 women's team won the world championship and won almost all individual awards.

Despite facing many difficulties and often being closed to the world football, North Korean football continues to produce excellent players. Their U17 generation is the most typical. At the recently concluded 2025 World Cup, the North Korean U17 women's team encountered almost no difficulties. They became the team with the best goalscoring and the fewest goals conceded in the tournament.

In the 7 matches played, the North Korean U17 women's team has always scored at least 2 goals per match. Before the Netherlands and Japan, both teams were strong in football, but the North Korean U17 women's team easily overcame them, scoring 5 goals per match against these two opponents. When meeting the Netherlands again in the final early this morning, the East Asian representative scored 3 goals in the first half.

In the second half, they slowed down to maintain their lead, so there were no more goals. 7 consecutive wins, possessing the most impressive statistics of the tournament, that is the reason why the U17 women's team of North Korea won the world championship in a more convincing way.

The North Korean U17 men's team is also making a strong impression.

This is the second consecutive championship of this football nation in the U17 world playground. In the last 5 times organized, the North Korean U17 women's team has won the championship 3 times. The Women's World Championship for the U17 age group has only been held 9 times, and this team has won 4 times. These are strong statistics, proving the unstoppable strength of North Korean youth football.

They don't just invest in one generation of players. The U17 stars, when they grow up, continue to bring glory to the country. In the U20 women's playground, North Korea is also a leading force. In 2024, they surpassed a series of names to win the championship. That was also the third world championship for the North Korean U20 women's team.

Women's football has always been a strong point for the country, and they are leading the men's teams on a similar path. At the U17 World Cup currently taking place in Qatar, the North Korean men's U17 team is leading the group, ahead of Germany and Colombia. The door to the next round is wide open for them and they promise to be a huge challenge for their opponents as they are currently one of the teams with the best attack in the tournament (6 goals in 2 matches).
