Kuala Lumpur: Asian Football Confederation (AFC) President Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa has hailed the remarkable achievement of DPR Korea after the East Asians defeated the Netherlands 3-0 to clinch a record-extending fourth FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup title at the Olympic Stadium of Rabat in Morocco on Saturday.

The exceptional triumph marked a historic first for DPR Korea, as Pak Song Jin’s charges became the first Asian side to successfully defend their crown on the global stage following a similar title-winning run in the Dominican Republic last year. With a total of 25 goals scored—a single-edition record —and just three conceded, the East Asian side’s performance at the ninth edition of the tournament will take its place as one of the most dominant in history. Astonishingly, all four triumphs were achieved in unbeaten fashion.

Shaikh Salman said: “Prior to this tournament, DPR Korea were already the most decorated side in history. Now, with this renewed dominance, they have set the benchmark for future women’s youth teams to emulate. This latest victory is perhaps the most profound in Asian football history, so on behalf of the AFC, I would like to put on record our heartfelt congratulations to all the players, the team officials as well as the exemplary support system staff members.” .....
