In the group stage of the 2026 FIFA U‑17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco, North Korea’s women’s side saw their campaign come to an end after a 3‑1 defeat to Nigeria’s Flamingos in the final fixture. The result left the Korean team unable to progress to the knockout round, confirming their early exit from the competition.

North Korea had opened the group with a 3‑1 win over Puerto Rico, a performance that had raised hopes for a deeper run. However, the subsequent loss to Nigeria erased those prospects. Nigeria’s victory secured their own advancement to the round of 16, while the Korean side finished the group stage without the points needed to move forward. The tournament continues with the remaining teams vying for the title in the upcoming knockout phases.
