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. This follows a pattern of leveraging sports achievements, like the 2025 World Cup victory, to project a positive image and demonstrate resilience, especially given ongoing food and power shortages and international isolation.
