North Korea is extensively publicizing the success of its U-17 women's football team in the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, using it to highlight the regime's superiority amid internal hardships. The state media, including Korean Central TV, has been broadcasting the team's performance, homecoming, and the public's celebration to inspire the populace.

Hwang Ui-jo, who received a suspended prison sentence for illegal filming, is effectively banned from Korean football. The KFA clarified that Hwang is in a 'quasi-permanent suspension' state, preventing him from participating as a player, coach, or referee in Korea for 20 years, due to violation of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment, etc. of Sexual Crimes. This aligns with regulations preventing individuals convicted of sexual offenses from national team selection or registration with the KFA. While his overseas career isn't directly affected, any future attempts to register with a KFA-affiliated team will be blocked. The KFA has also inputted his registration disqualification into their registration system. The victim's representative criticized the court's decision, citing the lack of consideration for secondary victimization.
