3 strong candidates for the title at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023
(Baonghean.vn) - The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup is about to take place in Australia and New Zealand, and here are the 3 strongest candidates for the championship, selected by Nghe An Newspaper.
1. US Women's Team
Up to now, after 8 FIFA Women's World Cups (1991 - 2019), the US Women's Team has won 4 championships, equal to the total number of championships of other teams combined. That's why in past tournaments, the US Women's Team has always been considered the strongest candidate for the title. And they rarely disappoint fans.
At the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, coach Vlatko Andonovski and his team are also highly rated for their chances of winning the cup. In addition to the position of the defending champion, the US Women's Team also possesses top superstars in women's football. Besides the two captains Lindsey Horan and Alex Morgan are Alyssa Thompson, Sophia Smith, Megan Rapinoe, Trinity Rodman...
2. German women's team
Right behind the US Women's Team in both the number of championships and position on the FIFA rankings is the German Women's Team, who defeated the Vietnamese Women's Team 2-1 in a friendly match on June 24. Before participating in the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, the German Women's Team had won the tournament twice (2003 and 2007).
Although they have just gone through some rather disappointing friendly matches (winning 2-1 against the Vietnamese Women's Team and losing 2-3 to the Zambia Women's Team), no one dares to underestimate the team of coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg. Because the German Women's Team owns a series of famous stars such as: Alexandra Popp, Lena Oberdorf, Merle Frohms...
3. England women's team
Compared to the US Women's Team and the German Women's Team, the team nicknamed the Three Lionesses does not have as impressive a record. In 6 times participating in the FIFA Women's World Cup, the best achievement of the England Women's Team was 3rd place (2015). However, coming to this year's tournament, coach Sarina Wiegman and her team are highly appreciated for their ability to win the championship.
It is worth noting that the England Women's Team are the reigning UEFA Women's EURO champions. The excellent performances at UEFA Women's EURO 2022 have shown the formidable strength of the team led by coach Sarina Wiegman. Don't forget, the England Women's Team is home to outstanding faces such as Leah Williamson, Keira Walsh, Lucy Bronze, Beth Mead...
In addition to the three teams mentioned above, the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup also features other "big ladies". Specifically, the Swedish Women's Team, the Brazilian Women's Team, the French Women's Team, the Spanish Women's Team, the Netherlands Women's Team, the Norwegian Women's Team, the Japanese Women's Team, the Chinese Women's Team, and the Canadian Women's Team - the owner of the 2020 Olympic Women's Football Gold Medal.
Let's wait and see which team will win the title at the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023, taking place in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20?
