North Korea revels in double victories in women's World Cups (The Associated Press)

In 2011, one of the more popular television series on North Korea's Central Television channel was ''Our Women's Football Team'', a five-part dramatization of the 2006 Under-20 World Cup triumph. After two similar tournament wins in late 2016, it may be time for a sequel or two. On October 30, the women's Under-17 team won the World Cup in Jordan, defeating Japan in a penalty shootout.
