Naegohyang’s Kim earns MVP accolade
Suwon: Kim Kyong Yong was named the Most Valuable Player of the AFC Women’s Champions League 2025/26™ after helping Naegohyang Women’s FC lift the coveted title on Saturday.
The forward scored the only goal that saw the DPR Korea side defeat Japan's Tokyo Verdy Beleza 1-0 in the final to succeed China PR’s Wuhan Jiangda Women’s FC as the champions of Asia.

"First of all, I’m very honoured to win the MVP. However, this result does not belong to me alone. It belongs to the team and the coaching staff. We just kept pushing ourselves until the end," said Kim.
It was a stellar campaign for the 24-year-old, opening her account in the 3-0 win against Myanmar’s ISPE WFC that confirmed Naegohyang’s place in the quarter-finals.

She continued her scoring touch in the last eight tie against Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City Women’s FC before finding the net for the third successive match, netting the winner in a 2-1 victory against Suwon FC Women of Korea Republic in the semi-final.
