The Women’s World Cup kicks off on Thursday 20 July, with Australia and New Zealand co-hosting a tournament on track to become the most attended standalone women’s sporting event ever.

More than 1m tickets have already been sold and there will be millions more fans of the 32 competing nations watching around the world.

The tournament begins on 20 July when New Zealand face Norway in Auckland and Australia meet the Republic of Ireland in Sydney in the opening fixtures. England face Haiti in Brisbane in their first Group D game two days later.

The United States won the 2019 tournament, beating the Netherlands 2-0 in the final at the Stade de Lyon in France. Having won four World Cups overall, they arrive as favourites again this time around.

If you’re planning on supporting your country this summer, we’d like to hear from you.

How far do you expect your team to go in the competition? What is the mood like where you live? Which player are you most excited about watching? We’d be particularly interested in hearing from fans of the teams making their World Cup debuts: Haiti, Morocco, Panama, the Philippines, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, Vietnam and Zambia.
