The Women’s World Cup commences on July 20 in Australia and New Zealand, and the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) emerges as the major favorite this year, with the USWNT being the +225 favorites according to 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup odds from Caesars Sportsbook. This tournament holds particular significance as it’s the last World Cup for Megan Rapinoe, a USWNT legend, who plans to retire soon.
