South Africa will take part in their second Women's World Cup after making their debuts in 2019 when they lost all three games.
They qualified for this World Cup by winning the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nation, their first ever title in the competition, and are currently ranked 54th in the world - 51 places below their opponents today.
Welcome along to day four
Rise and shine.
It's an early start to day four of the Fifa Women's World Cup and what a day it promises to be with the 2019 runners-up Netherlands and 2019 semi-finalists Sweden in action today, before Manchester City striker Khadija Shaw and her Jamaica side will be looking to stun France later on.
This is what we have coming up today...

Is this Sweden's year?
Sweden are ranked third in the world and they have come so close to World Cup glory.
They lost in the 2003 final and have finished third three times - in 1991, 2011 and 2019 - so will they go a step further this year and get their hands on the trophy?
Today they take on a South Africa side looking to make some history and claim their first ever match victory at a World Cup.
