2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Group A
Group A 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 20 to 30 July 2023. The group consisted of hosts New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines and Switzerland. The top two teams, Switzerland and Norway, advanced to the round of 16. New Zealand became the first FIFA Women's World Cup host country to be eliminated in the group stage; it was also the sixth consecutive exit in which New Zealand had failed to advance past the first round. While this was the fifth time Norway finished second in a Women's World Cup group, this was Switzerland's first experience of topping a group in the tournament's history. Teams
