In the first match of Group A, the host team New Zealand, although not rated as highly as Norway, but with the support of the home crowd, helped coach Kimkova and his team to a narrow 1-0 victory. This victory opened the way for the New Zealand team to advance to the World Cup group stage for the first time in history after 6 times participating.

To do this, the host team New Zealand needs to overcome the team considered the weakest in Group A, the Philippines, in the match taking place at 12:30 (Vietnam time). Certainly, the girls of New Zealand are highly appreciated, but the Philippines team also showed a very annoying pressing style in the 0-2 loss to the Swiss team in the opening match.

In the remaining match of Group A, which will take place at 3 p.m., the Norwegian team will face the Swiss team. After the unexpected defeat to the home team, the Norwegian girls need to win if they do not want to be eliminated early. On the contrary, the Swiss team also wants to get a ticket to the next round soon, so this will be a very exciting match.
The Swiss team will have more chances to continue if they win more matches.
In the earliest match of July 25 at 9am, the Korean team will face the Colombian team in Group H. This will be the opening match of both teams and certainly neither team wants to lose when they are in the same group with the very strong German team and the Moroccan team. The Korean girls (ranked 17th) are rated higher than the Colombian team (ranked 25th), however the South American girls always promise to create surprises.
The Korean team has its opening match against the Colombian team.
