Vietnam beat Germany 2-0 in the final for their second career championship. After his first win in 2024, he won the title again after finishing second in 2025, continuing his performance of advancing to the finals for the past three consecutive years.

He led 15-3 in the beginning and allowed a mid-term turnaround, but he showed his last-minute concentration and regained the flow.

Germany advanced to the quarterfinals as No. 1 in the group stage and beat Spain and Colombia after extra time to advance to the final for the first time in 13 years, but its fifth attempt to win the championship ended unfortunately.

South Korea played with Cho Myung-woo and Choi Wan-young, but was eliminated in third place in Group D with two draws and one loss in the group stage.

The record of advancing to the finals for the seventh time in a row, which has continued since 2017, also ended at this tournament.
