All teams from Group H of the 2023 Women's World Cup would have played their opener after Colombia Women and South Korea Women clash at the Allianz Stadium in Sydney on Tuesday.
On the onset of Germany's 6-0 victory over Morocco in the group, Colombia and South Korea will want to kick off their campaign with a win of their own. The South American nation, playing at the tournament for the third time, had failed to qualify for the World Cup last time around.
Following their Copa America Femenina runners-up finish to Brazil last year and the international friendlies that ensued amid their withdrawal from the CAC Women's Games 2023, Nelson Abadia's side has played just one friendly ahead of the World Cup this month wherein they drew 2-2 with China PR.
On the other hand, featuring in the World Cup finals for the third consecutive time and fourth overall, the Colin Bell-led South Korean team lost to China PR in the Women's Asian Cup final last year and continued their preparations through friendly games and participation in tournaments such as the Arnold Clark Cup.
