       The tournament co-hosts have yet to win a game in five World Cup appearances, and this year may not be any different. The Football Ferns opened 2023 with a 1-6-1 record in friendly matches, and the team will be without midfielder Katie Rood, who suffered a torn A.C.L., and center back Abby Erceg, who retired from international play this year.
