What you need to know about England vs Haiti
Where does England vs Haiti take place?
England and Haiti will go head-to-head in Australia's city of Brisbane, in the Lang Park stadium (otherwise known as Brisbane Football Stadium or The Cauldron).
This 52,500-capacity stadium is primarily used for rugby, but also sees some use for football too, with the soccer strand of the 2032 Olympic games set to be hosted by the stadium.
Who's expected to win England vs Haiti?
As we mentioned in the introduction, bookies aren't quite keen on a Haiti victory, even though that'd be one of the finest upsets in the Women's World Cup's history.
England's Lionesses have already won the Women's Finalissima, Arnold Clark Cup and UEFA European Championship in the last year, and qualified for this tournament but winning its qualifiers group. In past Women's World Cups the team has come in third (in 2015) and fourth in the last tournament in 2019.
This is Haiti's debut in the tournament, after failing to qualify for, or not entering, the tournament in every previous iteration since 1991. However the team is considered one of the best in the Caribbean region, with a World Cup squad that consists of many players from French and US clubs.
FIFA ranks England as the fourth best women's soccer team, while Haiti sits at no. 53. That actually puts it above one other Women's World Cup team: South Africa at no. 54.
