Who Is Favored to Win the 2023 Women’s World Cup?
Bookies all agree: the USA is the Women’s World Cup favorite. As it stands today, the USWNT has a 28% chance to get the trophy for the third time in a row — bringing home a historical three-peat. Though head coach Vlatko Andonovski has to make do without a few key players, the team is in the best form ever, having just crushed Jamaica 5-0 in the Concacaf W Championship. And they’re hungry for more.
It’s not surprising the US team is the bookies’ favorite. After all, the team has the highest success rate in the history of the Women’s World Cup. The USWNT has won the Cup four times in total already, finished as a runner-up once, and scored third place on the podium three times. No other nation comes close to this record.
Previous success doesn’t mean a guaranteed victory for the US though. As the current UEFA champion, England is the second favorite to win the Women’s World Cup. Their odds fall a bit behind the USWNT at 22%, but it doesn’t mean the Lionesses are giving up. One thing’s for sure — this is about to be the most fiery soccer tournament to date.
