One more day and then the World Cup draw is coming up: What are the Orange scenarios?
The thoughts of the Orange Women will probably return to the 2019 World Cup during the draw for the World Cup on Saturday – to be seen live at 08.30 on NOS.nl and in the NOS app. The Netherlands lost the final 2 – 0 to the United States.
The final at that time could only be a group game at the upcoming World Cup in eight months. The team of national coach Andries Jonker is in pot 2 at the draw and can therefore compete against a country from the top six in the world rankings: the USA, Sweden, Germany, European champions England, France or Spain.
Better scenario
However, a more favorable scenario is also possible. The host countries Australia (number thirteen in the world) and New Zealand (number 22) are also in Pot 1 and thus group leaders at the World Cup, which begins on July 20, 2023.
The final will take place on Sunday, August 20th.
In any case, the Orange dodges Canada in the group stage. Just like the Netherlands, the reigning Olympic champions are in Pot 2.
The field of participants for the World Cup, which consists of 32 countries, is not yet complete. In February there will be a fight for the last three tickets. The winners of these playoff games complete Pot 4.
