USWNT 2023 World Cup jerseys

U.S. Soccer say that the inspiration for the jerseys are “from abstract expressionism, an international art movement that started in the 1940s in New York and shifted the art epicenter from Europe to the U.S., similar to what the USA team has done for women’s soccer.”

They add there is “a custom USA ‘signature'” as the “bespoke mark is hand painted with ink on paper, and is a nod to the abstract expressionism movement, where each artist would sign their painting. Lastly, the USA’s inner pride mark celebrates the USWNT’s four Women’s World Cup championships in 1991, 1999, 2015 and 2019.”

When it comes to the home kit, U.S. Soccer say it is “an unexpected take on the tradition of wearing white at home and features a bespoke drip paint technique pattern. Highlighting the energy of the USWNT and how they are diverse players and personalities, but always united, the action painting method pattern features a distinctive placement, making every single jersey unique.”

For the blue away kit, which will be worn by both the USWNT and USMNT, there are “bespoke stars and stripe print on the sleeve cuffs – a diagonal stripe with intersecting stars – and a neckline that also features red blades, formed to look like the tip of stars.”

They add that those shapes are “subtle, patriotic nods to the hidden shapes that are inspired by abstract expressionism art.”

2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup: How do teams qualify for the knockout rounds?

By May 31, 2023, 5:53 AM EDT
0 Comments

This summer’s Women’s World Cup will feature an expanded field of 32 teams, divided into eight groups of four. Each team is guaranteed to play a minimum of three matches, playing each team in their group once. At the end of the group stage, the top-two teams from each group will advance to the knockout rounds, which follows a single-elimination, bracket format.

How do teams qualify for the knockout rounds?

Depending on the result of each group stage game, teams earn a certain number of points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). After each team has played all three group stage matches, the two teams with the most points in each group will advance to the knockout rounds. If two or more teams are tied on the same number of points, a series of tiebreakers are used to determine which team will finish above the other(s) in the table.

RELATED: 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup schedule

What are the group stage tiebreakers?

If two or more teams are tied on the same number of points following the group stage, the below criteria are used, in this order, to determine the rankings of those teams in their group:

  1. Superior goal difference in all group matches
  2. Greatest number of goals scored in all group matches
  3. Greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned
  4. Superior goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned
  5. Greatest number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned
  6. Highest team conduct score relating to the number of yellow and red cards obtained***
  7. Drawing of lots

***For tiebreaker #6 (highest team conduct score), the team with the highest number of points after the group stage, based on the below criteria, shall be ranked highest:

  • Yellow card: minus 1 point
  • Indirect red card (two yellows): minus 3 points
  • Direct red card: minus 4 points
  • Yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points

The fair play tiebreaker was included for the first time at a Women’s World Cup four years ago in 2019, although it was not needed.
