736 of the world's finest female footballers will gather in the southern hemisphere for the ninth edition of the FIFA Women's World CupTM.

Australia Women’s FIFA World Cup 2023 Squad: All 32 squads for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023TM have now been confirmed, with the tournament beginning in just nine days.

736 of the world’s finest female footballers will gather in the southern hemisphere for the ninth edition of the FIFA Women’s World CupTM on Sunday, 20 August, with the hope of hoisting the iconic trophy at Sydney/Wangal Stadium.

The FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023TM begins on Thursday, July 20 at Eden Park in Auckland/Tmaki Makaurau with New Zealand facing 1995 champion Norway. Australia will face Women’s World Cup debutants Republic of Ireland at the Stadium Australia in Sydney/Wangal on the same day.

Australasia and Oceania Marta will attempt to extend her record as the tournament’s all-time leading scorer in 2023. The renowned forward is set to compete in her sixth Women’s World Cup and has scored 17 goals in previous tournaments. She hopes to become the first player to score in six iterations of the championship, but will face stiff competition from legendary Canadian attacker Christine Sinclair, who also hopes to score in a sixth global championship.

Casey Phair, a Korean Republic striker born in the United States, is the youngest member on the official squad lists. Phair only turned 16 on June 29, meaning that if she appears in either of Korea’s initial two group matches, she will become the youngest player in tournament history.

Ifeanyi Chiejine of Nigeria, who was 16 years and 34 days old when she began for the Super Falcons against Korea DPR at USA 1999, is currently the youngest player.

Onome Ebi, a defender for Nigeria who is 40 years old (pictured below), will be the eldest participant at Australia & New Zealand 2023. Ebi is poised to become the first African player, male or female, to participate in six World Cups. Brazil legend Formiga is the Women’s World Cup’s oldest participant; the midfielder was 41 years and 112 days old when she played for her country against tournament hosts France in the round of 16 four years ago.
