The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is scheduled to be held in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20. The tournament is sure to be a hotly contested affair, with many teams vying for the title. However, there is one team that stands out as the favorite to win: the United States.

The United States is the defending champion, having won the 2019 tournament in France. They are also the most successful team in the history of the Women’s World Cup, having won three titles in total. The USWNT is led by a number of world-class players, including Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, and Carli Lloyd. They are also a very well-coached team, led by Vlatko Andonovski.

In addition to their past success, the USWNT is also coming off a strong qualifying campaign. They won all of their matches in the CONCACAF W Championship, outscoring their opponents by a combined score of 51-0. This performance showed that the USWNT is still the team to beat in women’s soccer.

Of course, there are other teams that could challenge for the title in 2023. France, England, and Spain are all strong contenders. However, the USWNT has the experience, the talent, and the coaching to make them the favorites to win the tournament.

The 2023 Women’s World Cup is sure to be a great tournament, and the USWNT will be the team to beat. They are the defending champions, they have a wealth of experience, and they are led by some of the best players in the world. If they can stay healthy and play their best soccer, they should be lifting the trophy in August.

Alex Morgan

Alex Morgan is not just a pretty face. The American soccer player is a force to be reckoned with. This woman has racked up some serious victories and broken numerous records in her career. And as FIFA 2023 approaches, her commitment to representing the USA at the world cup is stronger than ever.

Let’s start with her victories. Alex has won Olympic gold not once, but twice with the USA Women’s National Team. She also won the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015 and was a runner-up in 2011. And let’s not forget her victories in the National Women’s Soccer League, where she’s won two championships.

Alex Morgan with daughter

Alex is known for breaking records! One of her lesser known records is that she holds the USWNT record for most goals scored as a mother. Alex has scored 14 national team goals since giving birth to her daughter in May of 2020. Though she holds many records, we’re sure this is the one that she’s most proud of!

Alex is also the youngest player to score a goal for the USA Women’s National Team in an Olympic game. Not only that, but she’s also one of three players to score five goals in a single match in the World Cup. And, let’s not forget her record for the most goals scored in a calendar year for the USA Women’s National Team!

 

FIFA 2023

With all these victories and records under her belt, it’s no surprise that Alex is committed to representing the USA at the FIFA 2023 World Cup. This woman knows what it takes to win, and she’s not going to let anything stand in her way.

Thankfully, Alex is a seasoned athlete and knows her way around the FIFA World Cup. In fact she even had the honour of being featured on the cover of FIFA 16 for XBOX! That’s right, Alex’s soccer skills have transcended real life into EA sports!

Despite her many successes, Alex remains humble and committed to the sport. She works hard to bring home victories and we can’t wait to see her score more goals on the FIFA world stage!

But she doesn’t just know her way around the field, Alex’s commitment to the sport goes beyond just her own success. She’s been an advocate for gender equality in soccer and has used her platform to speak out against discrimination. Whether it’s equal pay or working to reduce media gatekeepers to give women’s sports the coverage it deserves! Today, this topic has become more prevalent than ever. With the potential blackout of the women’s FIFA World Cup in Europe, we desperately need advocates like Alex to speak out for women’s soccer!

So, as we approach the FIFA 2023 World Cup, we have no doubt that Alex Morgan will be a key player on the USA Women’s National Team. Her talent, dedication, and commitment to the sport make her a player worth keeping your eyes on. And who knows, maybe we’ll see her break even more records and bring home another victory for the USA!
