Papua New Guinea’s potential final path to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ became clear last week following the draw for the qualifying Play-Off Tournament to be played in New Zealand in February 2023.

Papua New Guinea have been drawn in Group C – alongside Chinese Taipei, Paraguay and Panama – following the draw at the Home of FIFA in Zurich, Switzerland on Friday, October 14.

Papua New Guinea will take on Panama in the Group C semi-finals at North Harbour Stadium in Auckland on February 19.

Chinese Taipei face Paraguay in the other semi-final clash at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton earlier the same day.

The winners of those two fixtures will face each other in the final on February 23 in Hamilton – with the winners qualifying for next year’s World Cup, hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
