The FIFA Women’s World Cup returns for its ninth edition this summer, with the event being co-hosted for the first time. The World Cup, which starts from July 20, will be held across Australia and New Zealand. A total of 32 teams will travel down under, and all of them will carry the same dream: to play the final at the Sydney Olympic Stadium on August 20, and get their hands on the coveted title.
The United States of America (USA) enter with hopes to complete the ‘three-peat’, having won the 2019 edition of the tournament in France and the 2015 tournament in Canada. The USA continue to be the powerhouse of women’s football, but a much-changed and relatively inexperienced team will allow other teams to grab their chances.
Prime amongst these is Sarah Wiegman’s England Lionesses, who redefined the way women’s football is seen at home with their famous Euros win at Wembley last summer. England have been to the last two semifinals, but will want to go a step further this year.
Hosts Australia are also amongst the favourites, and possess star power through Chelsea striker Sam Kerr. The usual suspects – Spain, Germany, and France – will also be looking to do their best to tame the Americans, while the 2019 finalists Netherlands will want to mark a revenge victory over the US in the group stages as well.
