The 2023 World Cup is finally here, folks. Yes, somehow, it’s been four years since the U.S. Women’s National Team took home the cup. It’s time to see if they’ll be able to run it back.
The United States is at the head of the competition with FIFA’s No. 1 overall ranking. But the competition is stout this year with teams like Germany, Sweden and England not far behind. Australia might have the best player in the world in Sam Kerr, and it only ranks 10th overall globally.
As far as where everyone stands heading into this year’s World Cup, here’s a look at where every participating team currently ranks.
