England Women are set to open their 2023 Women's World Cup campaign against tournament debutants Haiti Women at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane on Saturday.
The Lionesses will be hoping to clinch the coveted World Cup trophy for the first time after their recent successes in the European Championship and Women's Finalissima among other titles. England's best performance from their four appearances so far has been a third-place finish in 2015.
Eighty-seventh in the latest FIFA Women's Rankings, Haiti are the lowest-ranked teams in Group D which also consists of China and Denmark. The Grenadiers will, however, look to punch above their weight when they face England.
