The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup continues Saturday (on FS1 and the FOX Sports app), as Sweden and South Africa meet at Westpac Stadium in Wellington, New Zealand.
Sweden, ranked third in the world by FIFA, is expected to dominate Group G. It made the semifinals of the 2019 World Cup in France and has been playing quality as of late.
On the other side, South Africa is making just its second World Cup appearance after failing to win a game in 2019. Banyana Banyana, while a substantial underdog, aims to make history with co-captain Refiloe Jane leading the charge.
