After intense battles in the group stage and playoffs, the decisive clash was extremely uncompromising. The goals remained untouched throughout regulation and extra time, with the match ending in a 0:0 draw.

A difficult step towards victory

The Asian champions relied mainly on quick counter-attacks. Although the Asian representatives triumphed in the U-17 World Cup final against the Netherlands in 2025, this time luck turned away from them at the decisive moment.

Dramatic finish in the penalty shootout

In the penalty shootout to determine the winner, the Spanish players showed composure. Ultimately, Spain won 4:3, claiming their second U-20 World Cup title in history.

Goalkeeper Laia Lopez's saves played a decisive role in this success. She saved the team from inevitable goals in difficult situations.

The golden era of Spanish football

This championship is a logical continuation of the immense success of Spanish football across all age categories. Recall that the senior women's national team won the 2023 World Cup, and the men's national team has also become a major winner on the international stage.

The young champions are currently returning home for celebratory welcoming ceremonies. In the future, attention will turn to the tenth World Cup, which will be hosted by Brazil in 2027.
