Brazil and Panama will meet in their opening Women's World Cup fixture at the Hindmarsh Stadium.
Brazil are fresh on the back of winning their fourth consecutive Copa America last summer and will look to win the Women's World Cup for the first time in Australia and New Zealand. They did manage to gallop till the final in 2007 but faltered in the final stage and have bowed out in the Round of 16 in their previous two outings, a record they'll look to break this year.
Panama have reached this tournament for the first time in their history and will look to produce an upset this summer. Panama will have to win one of their games to weave themselves a fairytale in their opening fixture.
