The Korea DPR women's national football team represents North Korea in international women's football. North Korea were the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship winners, and won the AFC Women's Championship in 2001 and 2003.
Due to the Communist semi-professional sports system (athletes are paid by the government) and the perceived lack of attention to women's football in other countries in Asia, the North Korean women have emerged as a strong power in Asia and a potential contender to the World Cup. Unlike in the men's team, no zainichi women are regulars.
