The first FIFA Women’s World Cup was held in 1991, with China serving as the host country. The United States won gold after defeating Norway in the final 2-1.

Spain 1-0 England: Olga Carmona guides La Roja to maiden FIFA Women’s World…
Only the United States and Germany have won numerous World Cups. Japan and Norway have both won the trophy once, with Spain being the most recent member to the elite group.
Spain won their first Women’s World Cup title on Sunday (20 August) with a 1-0 victory over England in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup final in Sydney. Mary Earps saved a penalty for Jennifer Hermoso. However, Olga Carmona’s first-half goal was enough for La Roja to become global champions for the first time in history.
The victory caps up a historic FIFA Women’s World Cup campaign for Spain, which had previously failed to go past the Round of 16. After knockout victories over Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Sweden, they advanced to the final. It was already a first for Spain, and the victory in the final prompted much more joy.
