2023 Women's World Cup records

In addition to breaking numerous worldwide social media and viewing records, the 2023 Women's World Cup set and broke a number of unique tournament records as well. The players and teams that participated in this WWC should all feel extremely proud for the history they have made. Their performances continue to show the world that these athletes are capable of so much more than they are ever fully recognized for.

First team from their nation to qualify for a men’s or women’s senior FIFA tournament: Vietnam WNT 8 nations had their debuts for first time appearing in a FIFA women’s World Cup: Haiti, Portugal, Zambia, Vietnam, The Philippines, Republic of Ireland, Morocco, and Panama. Canadian midfielder Quinn starts for Canada and becomes the first non-binary athlete to play at a FIFA World Cup.

Christine Sinclair (Canada) and Marta (Brazil) become the 3rd and 4th players in history to appear in 6 World Cup competitions men or women, with Homare Sawa (Japan) and Onome Zeno (Nigeria) being the other two. The player with the record for most world cup appearances in history remains Brazil’s Formiga, the only player to compete in 7 world cups (men or women).

Kristine Lilly still holds the record for most WC appearances by men or women with 30 games played - a record set and held since 2007. Followed by Formiga with 27 as of 2019 and Lionel Messi with 26 as of 2022. Brazil’s Marta still holds the all time leading record for most goals scored across all World Cup competitions with 17 goals in 23 appearances across 6 tournaments.

Zambia’s Lushomo Mweemba scores the fastest goal of this year’s tournament in group stage at 2min 11 sec, also marking Zambia’s first ever world cup goal in their debut. The fastest goal in a FIFA Women’s World Cup has stood for over 30 years - it remains the goal scored by Lena Videkull of Sweden, who scored after just 30 seconds against Japan in the inaugural 1991 tournament. Zambia’s Barbra Banda scores the 1000th goal in WWC history. Nouhaila Benzina of Morocco becomes the first Women’s World Cup player to wear a hijab.

Ary Borges of Brazil scores a hat trick in her WWC debut and the first hat trick of the tournament. First Caribbean nation to reach the round of 16 in WWC history - Jamaica First Arab nation to qualify for a WWC and reach the round of 16 in WWC history - Morocco Of the eight debutants, Morocco was the only one to advance to the round of 16. Two teams reached the round of 16 having conceded no goals so far in the tournament- Japan and Jamaica.

First time four African nations have been represented at a WWC with three of them qualifying for the knock out stage at this years competition - South Africa, Morocco, and Nigeria. 3 of the 4 African nations appearing in this year’s WWC all finished 2nd in their groups (Morocco, South Africa, and Nigeria). The US suffered its earliest elimination in WWC history, getting knocked out in the round of 16. The U.S. has never finished below 3rd place in all previous editions of the competition. Sweden’s Zećira Mušović sets a new record for most saves in any WWC 2023 game with 11 saves vs the US in the round of 16.

First manager to lead two different nations to a World Cup final (Netherlands and England)- Sarina Wiegman First goalkeeper to take and convert a PK in a WWC penalty shootout - Alyssa Naeher

Golden ball (best overall player of the tournament) - Aitana Bonmatí Silver ball - Jenni Hermoso Bronze ball - Amanda Ilestedt Golden boot (most goals scored in the tournament) - Hinata Miyazawa (5 goals) Silver boot - Kadidiatou Diani Bronze boot - Alexandra Popp Golden glove (best goalkeeper of the tournament) - Mary Earps

FIFA young player award (best player of the tournament under 21 years old) - Salma Paralluelo FIFA fair play award (team with best record of fair play during the tournament) - Japan Best mascot of the tournament (unofficial) - Waru Longest penalty shootout in World Cup history (20 penalties taken) - Australia vs France quarter final

The 2023 competition was hosted by Australia and New Zealand, making it the first edition to be held in the Southern Hemisphere, the first Women's World Cup to be hosted by two countries, and the first FIFA senior competition for either men or women to be held across two confederations (Asia and Oceanic).

First edition of the women’s tournament to feature an expansion to 32 teams and 64 matches, and largest women’s sporting event in history with 32 teams and 736 players. Only team to play all matches (group stage + knockout) undefeated with a 6-0-0 record - England All 4 previous winner nations (US, Germany, Norway, and Japan) were eliminated before the semifinal stage, marking the first time this has happened in the competition’s history.

For the first time in its 32 year and 9 tournament history, the WWC has a new champion (Spain) and new runner up (England) in 2023, with both nations never having made it to the final stage before. Only the 2nd nation in history to win both a men’s and women’s World Cup - Spain Top scoring country at the 2023 WWC - Spain with 18 goals First time a senior English football team has made it to a WC final in 6 decades - England WNT

First time advancing past quarterfinals in their WWC history and first host nation to advance to semifinals in 20 years - Australia placed 4th place for best in all 8 WWC competitions they’ve participated in and broke attendance records through all stages of the tournament, with an overall stadium attendance across all matches at 1.978 million. More than 1.5 million tickets were sold for the WWC, surpassing the entire tournament’s projected target in the first 5 days alone.

Two attendance records were broken for both host nations on day one of the WWC - largest crowd ever for a men’s or women’s football game in New Zealand (42,137) and largest crowd ever for a women’s football game in Australia (75,784).

Brazil's opening match v Panama was simulcast live on TV Globo and SporTV, delivering a combined audience of 13.9 million viewers - higher than any audience in the territory during the 2007, 2011, and 2015 WWC. China v England produced the highest audience for a single match, reaching 53.9 million viewers, becoming the highest in any global market so far. 17.15 million people tuned into the Australia v England semifinal cumulatively across Channel 7, Optus Sport, venues, and live-sites, comprising approx 64% of the entire Australian population - the biggest television event not just in any sport in the country, but in Australia’s television history.

The record for highest single match attendance still remains the 1999 WWC final between the US and China with 90,185 in attendance - a number that hasn’t been reached since the men’s tournament at the 1994 WC final between Italy and Brazil at 94,194.

The largest 2023 attendances were at Stadium Australia in Sydney, which saw four capacity-crowd fixtures, including Australia's opening win over Republic of Ireland and the final between Spain and England. The crowd of 75,784 was a record home audience for a women's football match in Australia and the third largest individual crowd attendance in Women's World Cup history. Over 50% of all matches had near sell out or at stadium capacity with a total of 1,977,824 fans in attendance at the 64 games in total, setting a new record for highest overall attendance in Women’s World Cup history across all 9 editions of the tournament. Highest grossing Women’s World Cup in history with a revenue of over half a billion dollars ($570 million), surpassing the projected revenue estimate by $100 million.

[waru-chan8]

I'm glad you like the gifs, it makes me so so so happy 🥺 I think I'll gif basketball often from now on, even if I can't really figure out which moments to gif mhsmje I mean... when it comes to football, I gif the goals and the celebrations but Idk, it's different w/ basket rip

Anyway, I love you so much, my dear Waru 💚💚💚

Seriously, thank you so much for them. I love them and I love you so much Grace.

Normally the best stuff to make a gif are: - Dunks - Alley-oop (which is when a player throws the ball for a teammate to catch it in the air and make a dunk) - Block (when a player tries to prevent another one to score only touching the ball (like the one you did with Eddy (the Real Madrid player with the number 22) - After a player score and celebrates with fury. Because that's the magic of ✨basketball✨

Anyway, anything you decided to gift will be perfect.

Thank you @anniee for tagging me, I really loved this one♥️

1. Why did you choose your URL?

I created a new blog and I really adore Lando, so that was a given.

2. Any side blogs?

Nope, deleted them lately cause it was too much effort to keep them going.

3. How long have you been on Tumblr?

I've been here for years, but not really active. I've been writing and posting regularly since August 2020.

4. Do you have a queue tag?

Nope, rarely use it, and never tag it.

5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?

I deleted my old ones during a moment, and decided to choose a more f1 centric one. And for writing obviously.

6. Why did you choose your icon?

When I found that picture of Max, looking like that, I needed that as an icon haha.

7. Why did you choose your header?

Same here, Max in those pictures just looks so good. Smh.

8. What's your post with the most notes?

I don't know for sure, but it should be one of my Henry Cavill fics cause his fandom is craving for new content ❤️

9. How many mutuals do you have?

Quite a few, but only a handful who I talk to regularly.

10. How many followers do you have?

698 🥺 (thank you)

11. How many people do you follow?

300, across so many fandoms. It's hard for me to find new mutuals though, cause of my anxiety...

12. Have you ever made a shit post?

Like? I think I have, some dumb memes and stuff haha

13. How often do you use tumblr a day?

Too much for my liking, but I try to monitor it.

14. Did you ever had a fight/argument with another blog?

If I speak, I'm in trouble.

15. How do you feel about the 'you need to reblog' posts?

Facts. If you want to support any artist, reblogs do the most. Sharing their stuff, means more than simply liking it. Especially on a site like tumblr, where you can hide the likes, so no one sees them.

16. Do you like Tag games?

I do! Feel free to tag me, and remind me cause I tend to forget such things..

17. Do you like ask games?

YES. It's really cool to interact with the followers, anonymous or not. But I also like random asks of all sorts.

18. Which of your tumblr mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Mostly all of them? I don't wanna exclude anyone and I love them all♥️

19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?

Not romantically no, I just feel better every time I get a notification.
