Women footballers returned home after winning the title of the 2015 EAFF Women’s East Asian Cup.

They lived up to the expectations of the party, the country and its people by proving successful at the 2015 EAFF East Asian Cup in the wake of the 2013 East Asia Cup and the 17th Asian Games.

Pyongyang was clad in festive mood on Monday as it will greet proud daughters of the DPRK.

The route from the airport to Ryonmot-dong, Ryonghung crossroad, Kaesonmun Street and Changjon Street was crowded with more than 200 000 Pyongyangites with DPRK flags, bouquets and balloons in their hands.

A bus carrying footballers headed for the city amid welcome of people in Sunan District.

When the bus reached the entrance to Ryonmot-dong, a large platform truck waited for them.

When the truck started, the crowd again broke into rousing cheers.

They visited the statues of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il on Mansu Hill to lay a floral basket and bunches of flowers and paid tribute to them.

There was a press conference with players and coaches at the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium on the same day.

Present there were media persons in Pyongyang.

Chief coach Kim Kwang Min referred to the scope of the event and the successes made by women footballers.

Captain of the team Ra Un Sim said: We could win victory as we displayed extraordinary mental power to make a report of victory to Marshal Kim Jong Un who repeatedly showed love and repose trust in us.
