The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is the first to feature 32 teams, divided into eight groups to start the tournament in Australia and New Zealand.
Only the top two teams advance from each group after round-robin play concludes, meaning the field will be halved, with 16 teams going home and the other half advancing to the Round of 16.
A handful of the group favorites have already won their first group match, though the likes of France and Norway were shocked in their respective openers and their chances to finish top of the group are now diminished.
The Sporting News has all the information on the makeup of all eight groups at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
