After falling in the quarterfinals in the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup to eventual runner-up Japan, Australia will look to the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup as a chance to further their international success.
After qualifying for the Women’s World Cup by finishing as the runner-up in the 2018 AFC Women’s Asian Cup, the Matildas were sorted into Group C along with an Italy squad making its first appearance in the Women’s World Cup since 1999, a Brazil squad led by Marta, the all-time leading goal-scorer in the Women’s World Cup, and Jamaica, who are appearing in the Women’s World Cup for the first time.
