After four sensational quarterfinals, the final four is set with each team just two wins away from hoisting the most prestigious trophy in women's international football. Here is everything you need to know about the 2023 Women's World Cup final.
For the first time since 2007, the Women's World Cup final will not feature the United States WNT. This year marks the ninth World Cup final in women's football, and the first that will occur following a competition that began with more than 24 teams.
Two out of the four teams remaining in the tournament have made an appearance at the pinnacle of women's international football. The Netherlands earned a berth in final in France against the USWNT while Sweden took on Germany in 2003 for the world title. Neither nation managed to finish the job when given that opportunity.
Upon the final whistle on the day of the final, that country will become just the fifth to lift the World Cup in the women's game. England, the defending European champions took home third place in 2015. Its semifinal opponent, Australia will feature in its first-ever World Cup semifinal on either the men's or women's side.
