AUCKLAND : New Zealand had never won a Women's World Cup match in 15 attempts prior to the 2023 tournament but now the co-hosts find themselves on the brink of the knockout stages when they take on tournament debutants the Philippines on Tuesday.
New Zealand have struggled to sell tickets for the showpiece event but 42,137 attended their historic win and midfielder Malia Steinmetz hopes their progress can inspire the next generation. Norway, meanwhile, will look to avoid a repeat of their group stage exit at the Euros last year when they take on Switzerland, with coach Hege Riise saying attacking football is their best bet to bounce back.
"I've been looking forward to this game coming quite quickly. I think that we can actually get into the rhythm to succeed by doing the simple things right - start there and then we build on it."
