2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Group F

Group F of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup was one of eight groups that formed the opening round of the tournament with the matches played from 23 July to 2 August 2023.[1] The group consisted of France, Jamaica, Brazil and Panama. The top two teams, France and Jamaica, advanced to the round of 16.[2]

Ahead of the tournament, the Brazilian government announced that they would move working hours of the civil service on the days of Brazil's matches in the World Cup, with the working day starting two hours after the scheduled conclusion of games; due to the time difference, Brazil's group matches were all kicked-off at commuter times.[3][4] This ended in vain, as Brazil was eliminated in the group stage for the first time since finishing bottom in 1995. On the other hand, Jamaica became the first Caribbean team to advance from a senior World Cup group stage.
