Spain vs. Zambia live updates: Women’s World Cup 2023 top plays

The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup continues Wednesday (on FS1 and the FOX Sports app) with a matchup between Group C’s Spain and Zambia at Eden Park in New Zealand.

Spain — a unanimous favorite to make it out of the group — is led by two-time two Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas, Aitana Bonmati and Jennifer Hermoso. Putellas will make her first start of the tournament as La Roja aims to build on last week’s 3-0 victory over Costa Rica.

On the other side, Zambia is one of the eight debutantes in this year’s tournament and is aiming for a bounce-back performance after falling to other group favorite Japan, 5-0, in last week’s opener. The Copper Queens are headlined by star forwards Barbra Banda (captain), Grace Chanda and Racheal Kundananji.
