Our women's team is one of the most titled teams in history. Of the three last championships Russians won two world titles. But after the triumph at the 2015 European Championship, the national team fell on hard times. In 2016 there was a crushing defeat from the Serbs in the quarterfinals of the Olympics, the next year there were unsuccessful performances at the Grand Prix, the World Champions Cup and 0:3 from Turkey in the quarterfinals of the European Championship.

The once formidable Russian national team is no longer feared. And the time has come to return prestige.

Format

It would be naive to assume that our team will easily forget the last few seasons and immediately win the World Championship. Life is not a movie, and even if Russian women now, as expected in classic Hollywood films, start training at night, it will not work. You can fly off the top in an instant, but it takes time to climb back up again.

The official goal, which was announced before the start of the year, was to reach the semifinals. This is more objective at this stage. After a series of failures, returning to the top four teams in the world would be a tangible step forward. Although this will not be easy. China, USA, Brazil and Serbia are very powerful and beating at least one of these teams for any other team will be a real achievement.

There is no doubt that our girls will reach the second group stage. Another question is that this needs to be done with minimal losses - as at the men's world championship, all points go to the second stage. In the sextet with us: Trinidad and Tobago, Thailand, Azerbaijan, Korea and the USA.

Obviously, the favorite here is the Americans, the current world champions. Head coach our team noted that both Asian teams are dangerous. Although the Russians, of course, need to beat them.

In the second round, groups A and D, as well as B and C are combined. This means that at the next stage we will get China, Italy, Turkey and, most likely, Bulgaria. Unless, of course, the Canadians or Cubans shoot, which, in general, is not excluded. And out of all this splendor, only three teams will make it to the Final Six. On paper, everything looks like the USA and China will advance further, but Russians, Italians and Turkish women will fight for the third spot. But again, this is not solitaire and there are no guarantees that this is exactly what the final layout will turn out to be. In sports, especially women's, everything is possible.

Compound

Let's just remember the last World Cup. Four years ago, the Dominicans reached the Final Six. Who was waiting for them there? But they still fought with the Chinese women, losing to the future Olympic champions Rio is only a tiebreaker. I would like to believe that this time the Russian team will be the opening team.

Unfortunately, Tatyana Kosheleva will not help the team. The experienced finisher has not yet regained her condition after a severe injury. At the recent tournament in Montreux, the team lost Natalya Krotkova, who had gained excellent condition. She has already been operated on in Germany. Ekaterina Pankova takes care of health and personal affairs.

However, there are those on the team who know what big victories are and how to achieve them. Natalia Goncharova is a world-class diagonal. There is Evgenia Startseva, who was the main team at the victorious 2010 World Cup. , Irina Koroleva and Ksenia Parubets were in the starting lineup in the final match of the 2015 European Championship, which ended in triumph. Has extensive experience coaching staff led by Pankov.

So, although Russia is not the favorite, it can make some noise in Japan. In terms of composition, our team is no weaker than the Dominican Republic in 2014. So why not reach the semi-finals? We believe in the best and hope that the World Cup will give us long-awaited victories over top teams. We all miss them very much.

Already started. Almost everything national teams planets (179 in total) from six zones will compete in qualification for this tournament. Only the 23 best football teams will make it to the finals, so the fight for getting into the 2019 World Cup promises to be hot.

Where will the tournament take place?

The Women's World Cup will take place from 1 to 30 June 2019. Initially, five countries announced their intention to host the planetary championship, but only France and South Korea. In March 2015, after a vote by members of the FIFA executive committee, France was chosen as the host country of the competition. The local football federation assured officials that the Championship peace will pass on top level and will become a real celebration of sports.

The group stage matches, the knockout stages and the final match will take place in 9 different cities in France. The list of competition arenas includes:

  • "Stade Ocean" (Le Havre);
  • Roazhon Park (Rennes);
  • "Auguste Delon" (Reims);
  • Allianz Riviera (Nice);
  • Parc des Princes (Paris);
  • Stade du Hainaut (Valenciennes);
  • Stade des Alpes (Grenoble);
  • "Park Olympique Lyonne" (Lyon);
  • Stade de la Masson (Montpellier).

All of the listed stadiums have modern infrastructure, since they host home matches of Ligue 1 clubs and minor French football championships. Comfortable chairs, good review, amazing fan atmosphere - that's far from full list benefits that await fans who decide to visit these arenas.

Tournament regulations

The 2019 Women's World Cup format will remain unchanged. All 23 teams that have successfully qualified, plus the French team, as the host country of the championship, will be divided into six subgroups. This is the second tournament that will be held with 24 national representatives. Until 2015, the tournament format meant the participation of only 16 teams, and the playoff stage began with the 1/4 finals.

At the group stage, each team will play one match against opponents from the table. For a victory, 3 points are awarded, for a draw, the participants in the match receive 1 point, and a defeat does not bring any points into the treasury. Two best teams from the subgroups advance to the knockout round to the 1/8 final stage. The distribution takes place according to the “crosswise” principle: the first team of subgroup “A” will play with the second from subgroup “B”, the second will play with the first, etc.

If in the playoff series the main time of the match does not reveal the winner, two halves of 15 minutes are assigned. Often extra time does not reveal a winner, and then a penalty shootout takes place. The final match of the 2019 Women's World Cup is scheduled for June 30, and it will be held at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris.

Qualifying tournament

Each football confederation is allocated a certain number of places for the Women's World Cup. Quotas were distributed as follows:

  • North America (CONCACAF) – 3 + 1 team advancing to the play-offs;
  • South America (COMNEBALL) – 2 + 1 team advancing to the play-offs;
  • – 8 + French team;
  • Oceania (OFC) – 1;
  • Africa (CAF) – 3;
  • Asia (AFC) – 5.

In the UEFA zone, the qualifying matches for the Women's World Cup have already started. All 35 participants were divided into 7 subgroups of 5 national teams each. All teams within their subgroups will play two matches with their opponents (at the home stadium and at the opponent’s field). The matches will take place from September 11, 2017 to September 4, 2018. Only football squads that take first place qualify for the finals. The 4 best second place holders will play in the play-offs, and the points scored with the fifth team in the subgroup are not taken into account.

The Russian women's national football team was included in subgroup “A”. On this moment The command position here looks like this:

Prospects for the Russian national team

Women's football in Russia is not developing as progressively as many domestic fans would like. In this regard, the chances of the national team in qualifying for the World Championship of the year in question are very vague. Subgroup “A” contains teams that are higher in the FIFA rankings and have a more skilled set of players. We are talking, first of all, about the girls of England and Wales, although the team of Bosnia and Herzegovina is also not a gift.

The best achievement of the Russian women's team dates back to 2003. Then at the World Championship, Yuri Bystritsky’s team reached the quarterfinals. After that, the domestic team did not make it to the finals of the World Cup. Since 2015, the team has been headed by Elena Fomina, but under the leadership of this specialist, Russian girls do not grab stars from the sky.

The current selection for the Championship also got off to a bad start. In two matches, only 1 point was gained in the home match with Wales. The Russians failed the opening game away from home against England, losing with a final score of 6:0. Obviously, the key matches in the group are still ahead, but we can already say that the team is not playing well. There are complaints about both actions in defense (most goals conceded in the group) and in attack (0 goals scored). Elena Fomina urgently needs to change something, otherwise Russia will again fly past the final part of the World Cup.

The qualifying tournament for the 2019 World Cup in France is already in full swing. Women's teams battle to qualify through the qualifiers, demonstrating interesting football and the will to win. Don't miss the matches of the teams and Russian girls in particular, because they will surely bring you a lot of emotions.
