The 2019 Women's World Cup is here.
Over the next four weeks, 24 teams from across the world will compete in France for the right to be known as champions.
Just four teams - Norway, Germany, Japan, and the United States - have ever won the trophy, meaning history can be made in a myriad of ways. For some countries, an appearance in the final is what is expected. For others, just leaving France with a win would be a huge step forward for the sport.
