The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification, were qualifications matches to decide which 30 out of 32 teams would take part in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. Australia and New Zealand, who are hosting the event, didn't need to qualify; they got automatic spots.[1] This tournament is the ninth one of its kind and happens every four years, featuring women's international football teams.
What's special about this Women's World Cup is that it's the first time it's being held in more than one country. This time, it's happening in both Australia and New Zealand. It's also the third time a Women's World Cup is hosted by a member of the AFC, with the previous times being in China in 1991 and 2007. It's the first time the tournament is taking place in the Southern Hemisphere (the lower part of the world), and it's the first major FIFA tournament in Oceania (the region that includes Australia and New Zealand). Additionally, it's the first time a FIFA tournament is being hosted by different confederations (Australia is in the AFC, and New Zealand is in the OFC).
In the 2023 edition of the Women's World Cup, they expanded the number of teams from 24 in the 2019 edition to 32 teams.[2]
