After the surprise elimination of the Americans in particular, the 2023 Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand will offer an unprecedented champion.
After Germany in the group stage then the United States as well as Norway in the round of 16, it was Japan that was eliminated from the Women’s World Cup organized in Australia and New Zealand. On Friday, the Japanese were beaten by Sweden (2-1), who will challenge Spain in the semi-finals, La Roja having overcome the Netherlands after extra time (2-1).
The 4 countries that have already won the World Cup in history (Team USA has been crowned 4 times, the Mannschaft twice) are no longer in the running and the 2023 edition will therefore offer a brand new winner. Only Sweden has also reached a World Cup final, in 2003 against Germany.
In the quarters, the French team of Hervé Renard will try to dismiss the Australians in front of their supporters, this Saturday (9 a.m. in France, live on France 2). The winner of this shock will face England, now favorites for victory, and Colombia, who face each other later this Saturday (12:30 p.m. in France).
