GOAL memantau seluruh proses kualifikasi Piala Dunia Wanita 2027, dengan merinci tim-tim yang telah lolos serta negara-negara yang kemungkinan akan segera menyusul
Tim Lionesses Inggris selalu memiliki penyerang yang hebat. Bahkan sebelum tim ini menjadi pesaing utama seperti sekarang, dengan meraih gelar juara Eropa secara berturut-turut di bawah asuhan Sarina Wiegman dan mencapai final Piala Dunia Wanita untuk pertama kalinya, mereka sudah memiliki talenta serangan yang luar biasa. Salah satu contohnya adalah Kelly Smith, ikon Arsenal, yang dianggap sebagai pemain terbaik sepanjang masa dalam sejarah Lionesses.
Tim nasional wanita Inggris telah meraih banyak kesuksesan dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, memenangkan Kejuaraan Eropa pada tahun 2022 dan 2025, serta mencapai final Piala Dunia Wanita 2023. Para pemain yang terlibat dalam kesuksesan tersebut di bawah asuhan Sarina Wiegman kini mulai mencatatkan diri dalam buku rekor, baik dalam hal jumlah penampilan (caps) maupun trofi yang diraih.
Kampanye kualifikasi Inggris untuk Piala Dunia Wanita 2027 secara resmi telah dimulai. Tim Lionesses memulai kampanye ini dengan kemenangan 6-1 atas Ukraina pada Selasa dan akan melanjutkan perjuangan mereka untuk memastikan tempat di Brasil saat menjamu Islandia pada Sabtu. Sebagai runner-up pada 2023, sedikit yang meragukan tim asuhan Sarina Wiegman akan meraih prestasi serupa, namun siapa yang akan dipilih manajer untuk mewakili juara Eropa di Amerika Selatan masih belum pasti.
Bulan lalu, ketika manajer tim Lionesses, Sarina Wiegman, ditanya apakah ada kekhawatiran bahwa situasi kontraknya bisa menjadi gangguan bagi Inggris menjelang Piala Dunia Wanita 2027, dia menjawab dengan sangat optimis. "Tidak ada gangguan sama sekali," katanya. "Semua orang benar-benar fokus pada kualifikasi ini. Saya belum mendengar ada orang di tim atau staf saya yang terpengaruh oleh hal itu."
