How to watch Japan vs Sweden: TV channel and start time for Women’s World Cup fixture
In-form Japan face their biggest test of their Women’s World Cup campaign yet as they take on Sweden in the quarter-finals. Japan have been the standout team of the tournament so far in Australia and New Zealand, thrashing Spain 4-0 in the group stages, and progressed to the quarter-finals after a 3-1 win over Norway in the last-16. The 2011 World Cup champions are the tournament’s top scorers so far, with striker Hinata Miyazawa leading the golden boot standings with five goals from four games, as Japan have emerged as one of the favourites for the title. Women’s World Cup LIVE: Spain vs Netherlands updates as quarter-finals begin But Sweden offer a true test of those ambitions, after the Olympic silver medalists knocked out the defending champions United States on penalties in the last-16. After a 0-0 draw against the USA, Sweden progressed in dramatic fashion after Lina Hurtig’s penalty was ruled to have crossed the line by an inch. Here’s everything you need to know. When is Japan vs Sweden? The match takes place on Friday 11 August in Auckland, New Zealand. Kick-off is at 8:30am UK time (BST). What TV channel is it on?
