Preview - Group C: England v DPR Korea
Santiago de los Caballeros: So Ryu Gyong has promised that DPR Korea will not hold back when they face England in their final FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Dominican Republic 2024 Group C tie on Thursday.
Both teams confirmed their quarter-final spot after registering second successive wins on Sunday, with Thursday's face off to decide the group winners.

Reigning AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup champions DPR Korea produced another sparkling performance to defeat Kenya 3-0 on Sunday, with So starring with two goals.

"Thanks to my teammates, I was able to achieve this success and I will work even harder in the next match. I am very happy to have scored two goals," said the midfielder.
Two-time world champions DPR Korea had opened their campaign with a 4-1 win over Mexico but can expect a stiffer test from a resilient England, who had to come from behind to beat the Mexicans 4-2 on Sunday.

"It's amazing, I can't really believe it. When we went to 2-2 I knew that we would find a way and I knew that if we worked hard, we'd get the goals in the end," said England defender Nelly Las.

The Group C winners will face the Group D runners-up while the second-placed side will face the team that tops Group D.
