Both the championship trophy and the $1 million (about 1.5 billion won) winner's prize 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 climb to the top of Asia. The atmosphere in the stadium also left a bitter aftertaste until the very end.

Naegohyang beat 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 win the title. The official attendance that day was 2,670.
