North Korean women crowned Asian club champions in South
SUWON, South Korea: The first North Korean sports team to visit the South in eight years crowned their trip by winning the Asian Women’s Champions League, beating Japan’s Tokyo Verdy Beleza 1-0 in Saturday’s final.

The players hugged each other at the final whistle and coach Ri Yu Il sat on the bench and wept with joy.

South Korean spectators, wearing sunglasses and caps under the sunny weather, beat traditional Korean drums while cheering for Naegohyang. Around 3,000 spectators from civic groups backed by Seoul’s unification ministry were
