DPRK women footballers took the first place at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup held in Colombia. They won the trophy again as it did in 2006 and 2016, emerging as the world’s strongest team.
They returned home on Saturday.
Vice-Premier of the DPRK Kim Myong Hun, Minister of Physical Culture and Sports Kim Il Guk, Minister of External Economic Relations Yun Jong Ho who is chairman of the DPRK Football Association, officials concerned, and the families of players were standing at the apron of the airport terminal to greet them.
When a plane carrying our women footballers entered the apron, crowds broke into cheers of "Welcome" and "Congratulation".
Sportspersons and working people presented bouquets to the players and coaches who got off the plane with gold medals, and congratulated them, putting garlands around their necks.
Parents embraced their daughters with great pride and joy.
Women footballers left Pyongyang International Airport on an open vehicle decorated with flowers.
The streets of Pyongyang were filled with the fervent atmosphere of welcoming the young footballers who excited the women’s football world again.
They extended thanks to the cheering citizens, reminding themselves of the time when they played games, warmly encouraged by all the people across the country.
