England are through to the final of the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Here's all you need to know...
This year's tournament is taking place in Australia and New Zealand, making it the first co-hosted Women's World Cup.
The tournament began on July 20, with the final taking place on August 20 in Sydney at the Accor Stadium.
The USA are the defending champions but were knocked out by Sweden in the round of 16.
This Women's World Cup is the first to feature 32 teams, after the previous edition in 2019 saw 24 countries compete.
Haiti, Portugal and Panama qualified for the final three places after winning their respective groups at the inter-confederation play-off tournament in February.
The group stages began on July 20, run over a two-week period finishing on August 3, and see group winners and runners-up progress to the round of 16, which takes place from August 5 to August 8.
The quarter-finals, which will be held in Wellington, Auckland, Brisbane and Sydney, are scheduled for August 11 and 12.
The first semi-final will then be played on August 15 in Auckland, with the other semi-final taking place on August 16 at the Accor Stadium in Sydney, which will then host the final on August 20.
A third-place play-off will be played the day before the final on August 19 in Brisbane.
The 32 teams were divided into four pots, based on the FIFA Women's World Rankings as of October 13.
Pot One contained both co-hosts Australia and New Zealand, along with the six highest-ranked teams, including England and defending champions USA, while the Republic of Ireland were in Pot Three.
With the exception of UEFA, teams from the same confederation could not be drawn in the same group.
