Candidate teams to win the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand

On July 20, the Women’s Football World Cup will begin and this edition will be held in Australia and New Zealand. We already know who the 32 teams will be in the tournament, but only one of them can claim the ultimate glory and write their name in golden letters in the history of this game.

The tournament is still months away, but after friendly matches played last year and in 2023, these five teams start with an advantage to win this World Cup.

The Spanish team continues to claim the crowning title for this great and extraordinary generation of footballers. However, after 15 players resigned, the extra game issues with the national team to be called up have thrown Spain into disarray. In addition, Alexia Butellas is not known because he supports his teammates, but did not send an email to the federation asking not to call, so the coach can call him.

It remains to be seen how well he returns from injury. With Alexia clearly in their ranks, Spain is more likely to play a prominent role.

Like Germany, the Netherlands also went through a small bump to eighth in the FIFA rankings, however, let’s not forget that we are talking about the current runner-up in the world, and she will definitely go. to the World Cup with the aim of improving that status. Additionally, they have one of the best players in recent years like Leek Martens, which makes them an even more dangerous pick.

The German team is not living its best moment and it has been a decade since they won the title. However, there are enough quality players to go far in the competition and have risen to second place in the FIFA rankings. Germany is always a team to be reckoned with in any competition though because of its 8 Euro Cups and its 2 World Cups.

The England team has been one of the most developed teams in recent years and is also the reigning Euro Cup champion. The Three Lions have one of the best defensive units and it is not easy to score against them.
