Get ready for a highly anticipated spectacle as the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup is set to kick off July 20 in Australia and New Zealand. It promises not only to captivate soccer fans but also bettors nationwide, including those at VA sportsbooks.
The tournament is projected to break records as the most-wagered women’s soccer event in history, indicating the growing progress and evolution of women’s sports.
And with the USA women’s national team expected to be one of the favorites to lift the World Cup, the event is likely to generate widespread attention and propel the team to new heights of popularity throughout the country.
Betting Opportunity in Many States
Many American states will be closely following the event with considerable interest, with some, perhaps, fancying the idea of backing their country and placing a wager on the tournament. Folks in the Commonwealth can do so on any legal Virginia betting apps as well as a few brick-and-mortar outlets.
The United States is a four-time winner of the World Cup and only one of seven nations to play in every tournament (this is the ninth edition). So the USA women’s national team should dominate the odds boards and carry the ticket handle percentages throughout this year’s event.
