At a glittering Aotea Centre, 800 guests from around the globe including the FIFA President and Secretary General, Aotearoa New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Australian Federal Minister for Sport Anika Wells, representatives from the teams, FIFA Legends, and international media discovered the eight groups after being treated to a spectacular celebration of Māori and First Nations culture.
The 29 qualified nations can now advance their plans for next year’s tournament, which will be the first to be co-hosted by two nations from different Confederations, and the first FIFA Women’s World Cup to feature 32 teams. The Draw outcomes will also further serve to inspire the nations competing in February’s Play-Off Tournament, as they plot their paths to the groups – D, E, and F – that require one more side to be complete.
In order to optimise the specific match details for the benefit of supporters, teams and the media, the final match schedule and kick-off times will be confirmed shortly.
The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 Draw was conducted by women’s football great Carli Lloyd – a two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup champion – and sports anchor Amanda Davies.
