Both the trophy and the $1 million (about 1.5 billion won) winner's purse went to North Korea's Naegohyang Women's Football Club. In a final held in Korea amid controversy, Naegohyang beat Japan's Tokyo Verdy Beleza to sit atop Asia. The atmosphere in the stadium also left a bitter aftertaste to the end.
Naegohyang beat Tokyo Verdy 1-0 in the 2025-2026 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Women's Champions League (AWCL) final at Suwon Stadium on the afternoon of the 23rd to win the title. The official attendance was 2,670.
