The 2024-2025 DPRK men's and women's premier football leagues have recently come to an end.
The three-stage national football tournament recorded a total of over 1 190 goals and 14 hat tricks.
Experts commented that the recent Premier League was fiercer than the previous ones.
A typical example was that the scoring gaps between the top two teams of the men’s and women’s events were three and one respectively, a marked decrease in points over the previous ones.
The winning margins were nine and ten points respectively in the 2022-2023 DPRK men’s and women’s premier leagues and four and 15 points respectively in the 2023-2024 DPRK men’s and women’s premier leagues.
Another example that highlighted the fierceness of the recent Premier League was that many matches ended in a draw.
In the men’s event alone 57 of nearly 400 matches ended in a tie and of them 13 games finished goalless.
The male and female footballers of the April 25 team won both the 2024-2025 DPRK men's and women's premier football leagues, keeping its high profile as the top team of the country.
