England get their Women’s World Cup campaign underway with a Group D match against Haiti in Brisbane.
Sarina Wiegman’s European champions are among the favourites to go all the way in Australia and New Zealand despite being without a handful of key figures due to long-term injuries.
A friendly defeat to Australia in April ended a 30-game unbeaten run for the Lionesses under Wiegman, who led her native Netherlands to the 2019 World Cup final.
Haiti are making their debut in the tournament and could be buoyed by England’s recent struggles in front of goal. A goalless draw in a behind-closed-door friendly against Canada in their final warm-up match made it three games without finding the net.
