The Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand is getting closer and closer. The ball will start rolling on July 20 in the top women's competition and the qualified teams are already preparing for the event.
During these days the 23 players of each of the 32 teams that will play in the World Cup have been known. The opportunity to see a parade of stars will be possible from next Thursday and many are wondering which are the strongest teams and the favorites to win the trophy.
Which teams are the favorites to win the World Cup?
The big favorite to win the Women's World Cup 2023 are the United States, who are ranked first in the world. They are the current world champions after winning the last World Cup in France 2019 and 2015 back-to-back. At the same time, they are the team with the most world titles (four). Its squad includes stars such as Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan and Rose Lavelle, making them the strongest team to beat.
As second favorite to win the World Cup according to the betting are England. Although the 'Three Lions' have never won this tournament, they are on a roll after winning the last European Championship in 2022. In addition, this year they won the Finalissima against Brazil, that is, two titles of maximum prestige to gain the necessary confidence to compete for the tournament title.
After more than a year of controversy, with the resignation of 15 players, including important names, Jorge Vilda seems to have redirected the situation. Also in the team is two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas, who after her injury in the build-up to Euro 2022, seems to have recovered.
