The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup is a big football tournament for women's national teams from different countries. It will be the ninth edition of the tournament. This time, the tournament will be hosted by two countries, Australia and New Zealand, and will take place from 20 July to 20 August 2023.[1][2] It's the first time that teams from different confederations will play together. Australia is part of the Asian Confederation, while New Zealand is in the Oceanian Confederation.
In the past, the Women's World Cup had 24 teams, but this time it will have 32 teams, just like the men's World Cup. The first game of the tournament will be between New Zealand and Norway at Eden Park in Auckland on 20 July 2023. The final match will be held on 20 August 2023 at the Sydney Olympic Stadium in Australia.[3]
The current champions of the Women's World Cup are the United States, as they won the last two tournaments in 2015 and 2019. It will be an exciting competition to see which team will be crowned the champions this time.[4]
Host selection
Choosing where an event will take place is called host selection. For the FIFA Women's World Cup, it means deciding which country will hold the tournament. They look at things like the country's facilities and ability to handle a big event. The chosen country will be in charge of planning and running the tournament.[5][6]
For the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, countries had to submit their bids. At first, nine countries were interested, but some dropped out. Australia and New Zealand decided to join forces and submitted a joint bid. Brazil, Colombia, and Japan also submitted bids but later withdrew.[7]
In the end, Australia and New Zealand won the bid. This is the first time the Women's World Cup will be held in multiple countries. It's also the first time in the Southern Hemisphere and the first senior FIFA tournament in Oceania. Australia is the second country from the AFC to host the Women's World Cup.[8]
So, in 2023, the Women's World Cup will take place in Australia and New Zealand.
