Australia and New Zealand will joint host the ninth edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup for a whole month through July and August.
United States are the current holders of the competition. They defeated the Netherlands 2-0 to win the Final in France in 2019 with Sweden pipping England to third place.
Only four countries have ever won the Women’s World Cup. The United States – who won the first one in 1991 – have four titles under their belt, while Germany have won it twice with Norway and Japan winning it once each.
Everyone will be looking to knock the champions out, while European Champions England will also have a target on their back.
Sarina Wiegmen led England to Euro glory in 2022 and she has named a strong squad for their World Cup campaign. She will be without captain Leah Williamson through injury with Millie Bright taking the armband.
England will still have the likes of Lucy Bronze, Chloe Kelly, Alessia Russo, Bethany England, Georgia Stanway, Rachel Daly and Ella Toone and that makes them very dangerous.
I am backing England to win the World Cup for the first time in their history with Russo being the leading goal scorer.
