As the Women’s World Cup enters its final week, football fans are turning to the Guardian’s coverage of the tournament more than ever before with minute-by-minute live blogs, match statistics and analysis, in-depth news reports, and wide-ranging feature stories engaging readers around the world. Guardian sports writers from the UK, US and Australia have been at the heart of the action providing instant reactions to the games, with reports from Suzanne Wrack, Sophie Downey, Jonathan Liew, Jeff Kassouf and Kieran Pender, alongside guest columns from Karen Carney, Anita Asante, Abby Wambach and Joey Peters.
The Guardian has covered women’s football since 2010, and has seen audience interest grow ever since. According to an Enders report on UK news publishers, in 2022 the Guardian was second only to the BBC in having the highest proportion of its online sports articles dedicated to women’s sport, and with the 2023 Women’s World Cup drawing to a close the Guardian has been guiding fans through all the action with extensive coverage on and off the pitch from expert writers, columnists, podcasters and pundits.
