Friday’s Doodle features a collage of soccer players, each drawn by a different female artist from the country the players represent. It’s the first in a series; in the coming days, each artist will take full control of the Google Doodle to “capture the local excitement of the World Cup competition as well as what soccer means to the guest artist personally,” according to Google. The tournament, held this time in France, will progress for a month. The [Team USA](https://time.com/5600410/womens-world-cup-team-usa/), headed by captain [Alex Morgan](https://time.com/5594356/alex-morgan-world-cup/), is the oddsmakers’ favorite to win. The final takes place on July 7 in Lyon. Among other teams represented on Friday’s Google Doodle are players from Chile, Scotland, South Africa and Jamaica, countries all making their Women’s World Cup debut in 2019. **_From our Partner_**_:_ [_IBM on how AI can drive equality_](http://time.com/5593960/letter-from-our-partner-ibm/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5602859/google-doodle-womens-world-cup-day-1/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5602859/google-doodle-womens-world-cup-day-1/"},"headline":"The 2019 Women's World Cup Has Started and Google Is Celebrating With a Doodle","datePublished":"2019-06-07T10:44:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T23:41:46.576Z","description":"Friday's Google Doodle celebrates the opening day of the Women's World Cup, with a collage by woman artists from competitor countries","url":"https://time.com/5602859/google-doodle-womens-world-cup-day-1/","keywords":["Soccer","Google","Women's World Cup","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6c41608034eaeeaf/69894aef457a52b8fad61291/2019-womens-world-cup-day-1-5386703364161536-2x.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Billy Perrigo","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/billy-perrigo/"}],"articleSection":"Sports","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6c41608034eaeeaf/69894aef457a52b8fad61291/2019-womens-world-cup-day-1-5386703364161536-2x.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2019-womens-world-cup-day-1-5386703364161536-2x","caption":"The Google Doodle for Friday, June 7 – the first day of the 2019 Women's World Cup","creditText":"Google","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/sports/","name":"Sports"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/soccer/","name":"Soccer"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5602859/google-doodle-womens-world-cup-day-1/","name":"The 2019 Women's World Cup Has Started and Google Is Celebrating With a Doodle"}}]}] ```
