Most Anticipated Matches Of The Women’s World Cup 2023

You can expect all the action to unfold on the 20th of July.
Many soccer fans can’t contain their excitement as 32 teams will battle it out for the crown. That’s actually 8 teams more than the previous World Cup. Aside from the usual fan favourites, there are also new teams who will debut. This is a chance for every team to show what they're made of.
Series Opener Of New Zealand & Norway
The first game will have soccer fans glued to their television or computer. In any tournament, the initial match sets the mood on how the series will play out. The match between New Zealand and Norway will definitely electrify viewers, with the former having the home court advantage.
Having said that, many believe that Norway will emerge as a victor in this group. Superstar athlete, Ada Hegerberg, made it back to the team. Winning the opening game will certainly erase the frustration brought about by Euro 2022.
To add, Norway has no plans of stopping their appearance in the knockout rounds. It will be their third consecutive run if ever.
Asian Debutantes: Philippines Versus Switzerland
Came as a surprise in the last AFC Asian Cup, Filipinas made history when they qualified to the 2023 FIFA World Cup. This is the debut of the country in the World Cup for both men and women division. Due to their solid defence and resilience the team displayed in the qualifiers, Filipinas campaign is a must-watch. The Philippine team is also under the helm of Alen Stajcic, who was the former head coach of Australia’s women’s team. His knowledge of his former team can make Stajcic the fairy godfather to PH’s World Cup fairytale dream.
Rematch Of The 2019 Finals Between The USA & Netherlands
A chance to defend the title and an opportunity for revenge. With both teams belonging to the same opening group, the USA and Netherlands match will be a fight to the finish. If you are a crypto sports betting fan, this is your match. However, both teams have their own kryptonite.
Team USA will have to pursue their third consecutive championship without the leadership of their national team captain, Becky Sauerbrunn. On the other hand, the Netherlands will have to jump over the hurdle as well. Their star striker, Vivianne Miedema, will not appear in this year’s World Cup series. All hope’s not lost for them as they will still have Fenna Kalma. She managed to score a colossal amount of goals in 2022, with a total of 45.
Group B’s Powerhouse Match: Canada Against Nigeria
Favoured to take the initial stage, Canada poses a threat to anyone in the group. In spite of not winning the title, it still has a substantial number of football superstars in its arsenal. It includes Christine Sinclair and Adriana Leon.
Another contender is Nigeria. Indeed, the team's greatest weapon is no other than Asisat Oshoala. This football extraordinaire is perhaps the female GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) of African football. So, prepare for a nail-biting match between these two countries.
