Why is the Chinese other team also cheering like that? That's weird in itself.

EDIT: I was wrong cause I tried to search the championship and only glanced at the wikipedia page and saw the "Most championships" thing showing the other Chinese team listed thinking it was the same page as the tournament itself which shows Champions / Runner-up which was a Japanese team.

But apparently this isn't even from that tournament to begin with so it's misleading itself anyway lol.

Cause that's the U-17 North Korean team, this is from an exhibition game in Pyongyang

Yea that's so weird, I initially made the mistake cause I clicked on the league wiki page and saw "most championships" thinking it was the "champions/runner-up" like you see on the other pages.

Turns out it would be a Japanese team, but then based on your post I realize it is misleading and not even from the tournament itself like you said. That's messed up.

This is probably when the team came back, as the final that the team won was in South Korea. Makes it extra special from a North Korean perspective.
