The 2023 Women's World Cup is just around the corner with the ninth edition of the tournament to take place in Australia and New Zealand.
Canada will also enter the tournament as reigning Olympic Games gold medalists and will be eager to claim their first World Cup title.
Their rivals, the United States, will arrive as two-time defending champions as they chase their fifth Women's World Cup title.
Co-hosts Australia have never made it past the quarterfinals, while New Zealand are yet to win a game on soccer's biggest stage.
England were crowned European champions in 2022 and loom as another team to keep a close eye on at the tournament.
