Fixtures, and full match schedule for knockout stages

Germany have been knocked out of the Women’s World Cup. The two-times champions were held to a 1-1 draw by South Korea in a tense finale to Group H.

Morocco’s 1-0 win over Colombia in Perth put extra pressure on a German team that then needed to beat South Korea in Brisbane to advance, but could only manage a draw. The last two group-stage games of the tournament kicked off simultaneously on Thursday night on opposite sides of Australia.

Colombia finished top of Group H and Morocco took second place with six points, a remarkable turnaround after being routed 6-0 by Germany in their opening game of the tournament.

With the group stage now complete, the round of 16 starts on Saturday. England’s first knockout is on Monday against Nigeria.

What ball is being used at the tournament?

The official ball uses the same technology that was deployed during 2022’s men’s tournament in Qatar, to send Var officials real-time data to contribute to semi-automated offside decisions.

The ball, created by Adidas and named ‘OCEAUNZ’, contains a motion sensor powered by a rechargeable battery, which can be charged by induction and is suspended in the centre of the ball.

“Adidas has created an iconic [ball] that reflects diversity, inclusivity and togetherness, fitting themes for the first-ever Fifa Women’s World Cup to be co-hosted by two different countries from different confederations,” Fifa’s secretary general Fatma Samoura said. “This edition of the tournament will be extremely special.”
