New Zealand vs Norway preview
The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup gets underway today as New Zealand take on Norway in Auckland.
New Zealand have played in five Women's World Cup tournaments so far and are yet to win a match, losing their opening game in all five instances, so the only way is up for the joint hosts.
No wins in 15 attempts is a record for the competition, but coach Jitka Klimková will be hoping that Hannah Wilkinson can help them break their duck. The Melbourne City striker has scored 20 times in her last 28 A-League games, and will be looking to add to her two previous World Cup goals in search of the Football Ferns' first win.
Norway are one of the few teams that have qualified for every Women's World Cup so far, and were even drawn in the same group as New Zealand at the inaugural tournament back in 1991, emerging with a 1-0 win.
Considering they boast players such as Lyon's Ada Hegerberg, Chelsea's Guro Reiten, and Barcelona's Caroline Graham Hansen, Norway's FIFA world ranking of 12th is perhaps a little lower than you might expect, but The Grasshoppers will be targeting the latter stages of the competition, starting with a win here against New Zealand.
