Three Ohio State Buckeyes are playing in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup

The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup kicked off early Thursday morning on the other side of the world. The anticipated event is being hosted by Australia and New Zealand, marking the first time that either country has hosted the Women’s World Cup.

The United States will be trying to become the first country to win the FIFA Women’s World Cup three-straight times, and they will be looking to win their fifth overall Women’s World Cup. This edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup will be the first with 32 teams participating in the event.

Even though there are no Ohio State Buckeyes playing for the United States Women’s National Team, there are three current and past Buckeyes playing for other countries in the event.
