Football tournament teams
Group E 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 22 July to 1 August 2023. The group consisted of defending world champions the United States, Vietnam, the Netherlands and Portugal. The top two teams, the Netherlands and the United States (both finalists in 2019), advanced to the round of 16.
The United States finished as group runners-up for only the second time in the tournament's history, and the first since 2011, the most recent Women's World Cup without the Netherlands participating. The five points they earned was their lowest ever in a Women's World Cup group stage. Debutants Vietnam were eliminated without scoring a single goal, finishing bottom of the group with zero points and twelve goals conceded.
^ As the identity of the inter-confederation play-off Group A winners was not known at the time of the final draw, positions in the FIFA Rankings were not taken into account, and the placeholder in the draw was automatically seeded into pot 4.
Fair play points would have been used as tiebreakers in the group should the overall and head-to-head records of teams were tied. These were calculated based on yellow and red cards received in all group matches as follows:
first yellow card: minus 1 point;
indirect red card (second yellow card): minus 3 points;
direct red card: minus 4 points;
yellow card and direct red card: minus 5 points;
Only one of the above deductions was applied to a player in a single match.
