WOMEN'S WORLD CUP 2023
Women’s World Cup 2023: April warm-up games confirmed for USA, Costa Rica, Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, Panama...
The days continue to count down to the big FIFA tournament in July and the month of April has a feast of action in store for us.
We’re all getting rather excited at the prospect of what lies ahead in Australia and New Zealand as another Women’s World Cup rolls around. Reigning champions from the United States are targeting even more glory but many, including my humble self, have a feeling that someone else’s name will be engraved on the famous trophy come 20 August.
In the meantime, the teams involved are looking to fine tune all aspects of their game so that they, both individually and collectively, arrive in tip top condition. And as we head into April, we have a bumper schedule of international clashes to enjoy. Check some of our picks out here...
