The North Korean U20 women's team continued their good form when they defeated the Austrian U20 women's team 5-2 in the round of 16. The North Korean girls continued to impress when they defeated Brazil with a narrow score of 1-0 in the quarterfinals.

Most recently, the North Korean U20 women's team created an "earthquake" when they defeated the US U20 women's team in the semi-finals. At present, the US women's team is at the top of the FIFA rankings, so the US U20 women's team is considered the leading candidate for the 2024 Women's U20 World Cup championship.

Choe Il Son scored the only goal of the match to help the North Korean U20 women's team win 1-0, thereby qualifying for the final. In the final, the North Korean U20 women's team will meet the winner of the match between Japan and the Netherlands.

In the history of the tournament, North Korea's U20 women's team won the championship twice in 2006 and 2016. The US U20 women's team has a better record, winning the championship three times in 2002, 2008 and 2012.
