Sweden vs South Africa Kick-off Time

Here’s the kickoff time in different time zones for Sweden and South Africa on Sunday, 23rd July.

Match Preview

Banyana Banyana will open their second Women’s World Cup against one of the toughest opponents, Sweden.

During Banyana Banyana’s WWC debut in France four years ago, they lost all three group games and scored just one goal.

In 2022, the South Africans won the African Women’s Cup of Nations. They are ranked 54th in the world. They have lost all of their last five matches.

With a world ranking of No. 3, the Swedish Ladies are one of the strongest sides in women’s football. However, it will be their first major tournament since the 1984 Euros that they are aiming for.

Throughout their career, Sweden Women have consistently finished among the top four teams in major tournaments, with a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and a semi-final exit at the 2020 European Championship.

In their last five games, they have only won one, losing to Denmark and Australia.

Head-to-head

During the last four meetings between Sweden and South Africa, Sweden won three and drew one. The most recent match was a 1-1 draw in a friendly match in 2019.

Barcelona forward, who scored 16 goals in 21 league games last season, will lead Sweden’s attack.
