They triumphed in the inaugural edition in 1991 at China before winning it again in 1999 at home soil. USA had to wait for 16 years to win their 3rd FIFA Women’s World cup in 2015 and completed the double in 2019. If they win it, the stars and stripes will equal the record set by Brazil Men’s National team of most FIFA World cup trophies (5), something that Brazil’s Women team has not even reached closer to.
Other than USA, Norway won in 1995, Germany won consecutively in 2003 and 2007 while Japan is only the 4th nation to have won the WC in 2011.
The World cup will feature the usual format of 32 teams divided into 8 groups consisting of 4 teams. The top 2 teams from each group will reach the knockouts.
