Group H of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup was one of eight groups that formed the opening round of the tournament with the matches played from 24 July to 3 August 2023.[1] The group consisted of Germany, Morocco, Colombia and South Korea. The top two teams, Colombia and Morocco, advanced to the round of 16.[2]
Germany were eliminated in the Women's World Cup group stage for the first time ever, while Morocco advanced to the knockouts in their first Women's World Cup campaign, as well as being the sole debutant to advance to the last 16. Colombia advanced to the round of 16 for only second time in their third Women's World Cup; they previously advanced in 2015, which was also the sole occasion that South Korea progressed past the first round.
