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