The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 match between France and Jamaica will take place at Allianz Stadium at 3:30 pm IST on Sunday.
The opening match of Group F in the Women’s World Cup 2023 is scheduled for Sunday at the Sydney Football Stadium, where France Women will take on Jamaica Women. France is participating in the tournament for the fifth time, while Jamaica is making their second appearance in the Women’s World Cup.
France has featured in the knockout rounds of the last three Women’s World Cup tournaments since their 2003 group stage elimination. Their best performance was reaching the 2011 semi-finals before losing to the USA. Hoping to surpass their quarter-final exits in 2015 and 2019, France dreams of winning their first major trophy. With just one loss in their last eight internationals, Les Bleues are in good form, despite a recent defeat to Australia in a warm-up game. They have a strong record of winning their last three World Cup openers and will seek to continue this trend when they face Jamaica in Sydney.
Jamaica aims to improve upon their 2019 World Cup performance, where they lost all three group games. They secured their 2023 tournament spot with a strong showing in the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship, reaching the semi-finals. In a challenging group with favorites France and Brazil, along with Panama, the Reggae Girlz will need surprise results to advance to the knockout rounds. Their recent 1-0 win over Morocco in the final warm-up game before the World Cup offers encouragement, marking their first international victory since November 2022.
France Women probable starting lineup: Peyraud-Magnin, Lakrar, De Almeida, Renard, Karchaoui, Geyoro, Toletti, Dali, Diani, Mateo, Le Sommer
Jamaica Women probable starting lineup: Spencer, Wiltshire, A. Swaby, C. Swaby, Blackwood, Carter, Spence, Solaun, Sampson, Brown, Shaw
