The 2023 Women’s World Cup is just around the corner. For those looking forward to the event, here’s all you need to know ahead of the tournament:
For the first time ever, this year’s tournament will be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. The tournament is scheduled to kick off on July 20 until August 20, 2023 with games played across 10 stadiums—six in Australia and four in New Zealand.
With a total of 32 teams (eight more than the previous tournament), it is the ninth Women’s World Cup in history and the biggest yet. Founded in 1991, Women’s World Cup tournaments have been won by four national teams—the United States have won four times, and are the current reigning champions. Other winners are Germany with two titles, and Japan and Norway with one title each.
