Switzerland's Fabienne Humm, right, scores to the 2-1 against Wales' goalkeeper Laura O'Sullivan during the Women's World Cup qualifying round group G soccer match between Switzerland and Wales, at the Letzigrund stadium in Zurich, Switzerland, Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2022. However, Portugal had to wait for the result of the later game in Scotland to see if its Women’s World Cup debut was assured. Only two direct World Cup entries were on offer Tuesday, awarded to the teams with the overall best record in qualifying. Australia and New Zealand are hosting the first 32-team Women’s World Cup from July 20-Aug. 20 where the United States will defend its title. ___AP World Cup coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/world-cupThis story was originally published October 11, 2022 4:15 PM.
