The U-20 Women's World Cup concluded last night in Colombia, with an unexpected champion emerging.

Details: The North Korean national team claimed the title, defying pre-tournament expectations. In the semifinals, they stunned tournament favorites, the United States, with a 1-0 victory. North Korea went on to defeat Japan in the final by the same scoreline, 1-0.

This is not the first time such a feat has occurred. For North Korea, this marks their third U-20 Women's World Cup title, having previously won in 2006 and 2016.

With this triumph, North Korea's U-20 team has matched the United States and Germany for the most titles in tournament history, with three championships each.

The U-20 Women's World Cup has been held since 2002, taking place every two years.

Reminder: Recently, legendary footballer Alex Morgan announced her retirement from the sport.
