The 2023 Women’s World Cup is just around the corner with the ninth edition of the tournament to take place in Australia and New Zealand.
The United States will arrive as defending champions and are chasing their fifth Women’s World Cup title.
Co-hosts Australia have never made it past the quarter-finals, while New Zealand are yet to win a game on football’s biggest stage.
England were crowned European champions in 2022 and loom as another team to keep a close eye on at the tournament.

The USA have been drawn in Group E for the 2023 Women’s World Cup alongside Vietnam, Netherlands and a yet-to-be-determined playoff winner.
Cameroon, Thailand and Portugal are all vying for that playoff spot with the victor to be known on February 22.
Being in Group E means the United States will play all of their group matches in New Zealand.
USA Women’s World Cup schedule
The USWNT will kick off the World Cup title defence against Vietnam, who are appearing at the tournament for the first time.
After playing their first game in Auckland, the USA will then head to Wellington to face Netherlands before returning to Auckland’s Eden Park for their final group match.
An opponent from Group G then looms in the Round of 16 should the United States qualify with that group containing the likes of Sweden and Italy.
