The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup continues Monday (on FS1 and the FOX Sports app) with a Group H matchup between Colombia and South Korea at Sydney Football Stadium in Australia.
Colombia is the No. 25 ranked team in the world, according to FIFA, while South Korea is ranked No. 17.
Colombia star forward Linda Caicedo, 18, is expected to make her World Cup debut Monday in what would be a triumphant moment for the young player after being diagnosed with cancer just three years ago. Las Cafeteras are captained by powerhouse midfielder Daniela Montoya, who scored Colombia’s first World Cup goal in the team’s history back in 2015.
On the other side, South Korea, which boasts a 1-8-1 record in its three World Cups, is captained by defensive leader Kim Hyeri. Five of the Taegeuk Ladies, including Hyeri, have made more than 100 appearances entering the match. Monday also could mark the World Cup debut of 16-year-old South Korea forward Casey Phair. The American-born teenager would become the youngest player all-time to play in a World Cup, men’s or women’s, should she play.
