Qualified teams
Qualification process
After FIFA increased the number of teams qualifying for the Women's World Cup, a new distribution of slots to each confederation is expected to be announced at a later date.Summary of qualification
Qualifying matches are scheduled to start in 2021 and end in 2022.Apart from the hosts Australia and New Zealand, 207 of 209 remaining FIFA member associations could qualify through their own confederation's qualifying process if they choose to enter. The only exception may be Russia after receiving a four-year ban from all major sporting events by the World Anti-Doping Agency on 9 December 2019, after RUSADA was found non-compliant for handing over manipulated laboratory data to investigators. However, the Russian women's team could still enter qualification, as the ban only applies to the final tournament. Russia's women's footballers could still potentially compete at the tournament were they to qualify, pending a decision from FIFA. Despite that, a team representing Russia, which uses its flag and anthem, is ineligible under the WADA decision. The decision is pending appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
