At the end of October, a much-anticipated event is about to take place. According to the exclusive news of "Beiqing Sports", the 2023 Women's World Cup group draw ceremony will be unveiled on October 22nd in Auckland, New Zealand. At that time, China's women's soccer team is expected to step into the stage of the group draw as the second seed.
Looking back to August 5 this year, the World Football Federation (WFF) unveiled the latest edition of the world ranking of women's football teams (national teams) of member associations. With an excellent score of 1862.87 points, our women's soccer team was ranked 16th in the world, followed closely by Denmark and South Korea women's soccer teams.
It is worth mentioning that the Danish women's soccer team lost 1-4 in a match against the Australian women's soccer team on October 11, which prevented them from overtaking our women's soccer team in the table; while the Korean women's soccer team did not participate in the international women's soccer tournament cycle from October 3 to 11, and the points remained stable, which also could not shake our women's soccer team's position.
As a result, the country's women's soccer team will remain 16th in the new world ranking list released on Oct. 13, which bodes well for their participation in the World Cup group draw as the second seed.
According to the latest statistics, 29 of the 32 places for the 2023 Women's World Cup have been confirmed, with the remaining 10 teams battling it out in the Intercontinental Play-Offs for the last three spots straight into the World Cup.
