Of the 1,081 goals scored in matches at the nine final tournaments of the FIFA Women's World Cup, only 33 have been own goals. In 1997, FIFA published guidelines for classifying an own goal as "when a player plays the ball directly into his own net or when he redirects an opponent’s shot, cross or pass into his own goal", and excludes "shots that are on target (i.e. goal-bound) and touch a defender or rebound from the goal frame and bounce off a defender or goalkeeper".[1] This is a list of all own goals scored during FIFA Women's World Cup matches (not including qualification games).
The United States has scored four own goals for their opponents, while Norway has benefited from five own goals. Of the 31[2] matches with own goals, the team scoring the own goal has won five times and drawn three times.[3] All but eight own goals have been scored in the group stage of the tournament.
The only player to score two own goals is Angie Ponce from Ecuador, scoring twice for Switzerland in 2015. She later scored Ecuador's first World Cup goal in the same match.[4]
