How do FIFA Women’s World Cup™ qualifiers work?
For the first time in history, the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ will feature 32 nations competing for the ultimate prize in International football, 8 more than the previous high.
The 32 World Cup berths are divided by 6 confederations, with qualifying matches having started in September 2021. The final three berths are to be determined by a 10-team playoff tournament, with matches to be played February 17th - 23rd 2023 across Australia and New Zealand to conclude the intercontinental playoffs. Including co-hosts Australia and New Zealand, 19 teams have already qualified for the tournament.
Asia (AFC) have already determined all 6 entrants and 2 playoff contenders through the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup, whilst Europe (UEFA) are currently playing a dedicated qualifying campaign to determine their entrants. The remaining 4 confederations will compete for World Cup berths through their own major confederation tournaments in July of 2022. With numerous Top 10 ranked teams that haven’t qualified yet including the likes of: Netherlands (#4), Germany (#5), England (#8) and Brazil (#9). All eyes should be on the FIFA Women's World Cup™ qualifiers leading into the opening ceremony.
Once the 32 nations have been determined, tournament organizers will hold the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ draw. The draw will determine the eight groups of four teams, as well as where and when they will play in the group stage.
