Spain and France became the latest teams to seal places at the 2023 Women’s World Cup (WC) in Australia and New Zealand after winning their qualifying groups on Tuesday, as England took a giant step towards joining them. Sweden were the first European team to qualify for the World Cup following their earlier 1-1 draw at home to Ireland, and Spain sealed a berth at the finals with Jenni Hermoso’s double for a 2-0 Group B victory away to Scotland. Delphine Cascarino scored the winner just after the break as France defeated Slovenia 1-0 to ensure top spot in Group I. They kept up their 100 percent record with an eighth straight victory.
