2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Group G

2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Group G

Football tournament teams

Group G of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup was one of eight groups that formed the opening round of the tournament with the matches being played from 23 July to 2 August 2023.[1] The group consisted of Sweden, South Africa, Italy and Argentina. The top two teams, Sweden and South Africa, advanced to the round of 16.[2]

Sweden won a Women's World Cup group for only the second time in tournament's history, and the first since 2011. South Africa advanced to a senior World Cup knockout stage for the first time ever at the expense of Italy, who were eliminated in the Women's World Cup group stage for only the second time ever, and the first since 1999. This was also statistically Italy's worst Women's World Cup performance; they only recorded three points (one less than in 1999), and for the first time ever finished with a negative goal difference.

Discipline

Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers in the group should the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:[2]

  • first yellow card: minus 1 point;
  • indirect red card (second yellow card): minus 3 points;
  • direct red card: minus 4 points;
  • yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points;

Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.
