The championship 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 stadium atmosphere also left a bitter aftertaste to the very end.
