The group stage of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup concluded on Thursday, with Morocco making a historic qualification to the Round of 16. Here is the full draw for the next round of the competition.
After several days of competition, the group stage of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, held in Oceania, came to an end on Thursday. Placed in Group H, Morocco secured a historic spot in the Round of 16 with a 1-0 victory against Colombia. The Moroccan team will face France next Tuesday in an attempt to continue their journey. Colombia, the other qualifier from Group H, will face Jamaica on the same day.
In addition to Morocco, two African nations have booked their tickets for the knockout stage of the tournament. Nigeria will face England next Monday, and South Africa will take on the Netherlands on Sunday for a place in the quarter-finals. Other exciting matches to look forward to in the next round include a clash between Switzerland and Spain on Saturday.
The match between Sweden and the United States is also worth following. Placed in Group G, the Swedish team had a perfect record with three wins in as many games, making them one of the favorites for the final victory. However, they will face the United States, the two-time defending champions, who had a very mixed group stage. The American team was on the verge of elimination on the last matchday and will need to show a better performance to avoid an early exit in the Round of 16. The match between these two teams is scheduled for next Sunday.
