Women's World Cup 2023: Will it be the biggest ever?

The biggest stars of the game will be making their way to Australia and New Zealand for the first time ever this July, and it’s set to be the best edition of the tournament yet.

The women’s World Cup dates back to 1970, but has only been under FIFA’s umbrella since 1991. The decade that followed was when popularity began to really grow. The USA hosting for the first time in 1999 was a significant moment for the trajectory of the sport, with the final having an attendance of over 90,000 people. Germany won the first two tournaments of the new millennium, but it has been back to US dominance ever since. They’ve reached the last three consecutive finals, winning the previous two.

By the 2019 edition in France, popularity of the women’s game had reached unprecedented levels. But what can we expect from 2023 in Oceania?

“First of all, it will be winter here, actually. So that is going to be a shock for a lot of people, I think,” said Narelle Sindos, Sports reporter at Discovery Inc.

“I was at the last Women's World Cup in France and that was so nice and so hot. And I think people will get a bit of a shock, especially being in New Zealand. It's a lot colder than Australia, especially down south. So bring jackets, bring gloves. But New Zealand is known for being, really, really nice. That's something we get told all the time. The coffee is really good and the food, so it's a pretty good place to host a World Cup in my opinion.”

10 stadiums from 9 cities across the 2 countries will welcome the world’s best players when the competition kicks off on July 20th. Auckland’s Eden Park will host the opening match between New Zealand and Norway, while Australia begin their campaign at the Sydney Football Stadium when they take on Ireland.
