The USA are the favorites to win the Women’s World Cup 2023 with the best online sportsbooks. The four-time champions have long been the team to beat in the women’s game and they will arrive in Australia and New Zealand later this year with the belief that they can lift the trophy.
England won the Women’s Euro 2022 at home last year and will be full of confidence heading into the World Cup. However, it will be trickier for Sarina Wiegman’s side to triumph on foreign soil than it was in front of their own fans last summer. England are the second-favorites as things stand.
Elsewhere, Germany, Spain and France look set to provide a strong challenge, while Australia will hope to benefit from the support of the locals. Sweden and the Netherlands could be dark horses.
The USA were the Women’s World Cup 2019 winners, lifting the trophy for a record-extending fourth time.
They won all three of their group games, beating Thailand, Chile and Sweden, then overcame Spain, France and England to reach the final, where they dispatched the Netherlands.
The Dutch also won all three group games against Canada, Cameroon and New Zealand. They reached the final thanks to triumphs over Japan, Italy and Sweden.

The 32 teams have been divided into eight groups of four. The top two in each group will advance to the knockout phase, which begins with a round of 16.
Games in the knockout rounds are one-legged ties, with extra time and (if needed) penalty shoot-outs determining the winner if the score is level after 90 minutes.
As you will see below, there are still three places in the Women’s World Cup 2023 up for grabs, with play-offs due to be held in February.

The Women’s World Cup was launched in 1991. Only 12 teams took part in the maiden edition of the competition, which was held in China and won by the USA.However, there were football tournaments held for women before FIFA finally decided to found an official competition at the beginning of the 1990s. Indeed, an unofficial World Cup was first staged in Italy in 1970, with Denmark beating the hosts in the final of a seven-team event.The 1970s saw the establishment of many different women’s national teams across the world, and further unofficial tournaments took place before FIFA belatedly launched their own version 32 years ago.Since 1991, the Women’s World Cup has been held every four years. The 2023 edition in Australia and New Zealand promises to be the biggest yet.
