The 2023 Women’s World Cup is finally upon us, with 32 nations ready to give it their all in Australia and New Zealand to try and claim World Cup glory.
Last night’s action saw one of the shocks of the tournament, with co-host’s Australia suffering a shock 3-2 defeat that leaves their chances of qualifying for the Round of 16 in a precarious position, whilst the USA and Netherlands played out an entertaining 1-1 draw in a rematch of the 2019 final.
In today’s games, South Africa let a two goal lead slip against and were forced to split the points in a 2-2 draw; tonight, there is Group D action as England take on Denmark, before China and Haiti lock horns hoping to keep their Round of 16 hopes alive.
The Sporting News has all the details on the matches being played today at the World Cup, and how fans around the world will be able to tune into them on TV or live stream.
