2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Group E

Last updated

Group E of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup was one of eight groups that formed the opening round of the tournament with the matches played from 22 July to 1 August 2023. [1] The group consisted of defending world champions the United States, Vietnam, the Netherlands and Portugal. The top two teams, the Netherlands and the United States (both finalists in 2019), advanced to the round of 16. [2]

Contents

The United States finished as group runners-up for only the second time in the tournament's history, and the first since 2011, the most recent Women's World Cup without the Netherlands participating. The five points they earned was their lowest ever in a Women's World Cup group stage, having won at least two group games in all previous tournaments (including 1991 when only two points were awarded for a win). Debutants Vietnam were eliminated without scoring a single goal, finishing bottom of the group with zero points and twelve goals conceded.
