The U.S. women’s national team and the Netherlands will face off in Wellington in one of the 2023 World Cup’s most anticipated group stage matches.
For the first time in women’s World Cup history, the two finalists from the previous tournament will meet in the group stage.
The Group E encounter is a chance for revenge for the Dutch, who lost to the USWNT in the 2019 final and were also eliminated by the U.S. at the most recent Olympics in the quarterfinal round.

Overall, the USWNT has a record of 8W-1D-1L against the Netherlands all time.
The two teams started out their respective World Cup campaigns with wins, as the USWNT got past Vietnam 3-0 and the Netherlands defeated Portugal 1-0. If there is a winner in this match, that team will have full control of Group E, with only a draw required in their finale to lock up first place.
Finishing first in Group E will be crucial, as the runner-up will be looking at a potential last-16 matchup against Sweden — which finished third at the 2019 World Cup and second at the Olympics two years ago.
Here is everything you need to know for the match that kicks off on Wednesday night U.S. time, which is Thursday afternoon in New Zealand.
