2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup
The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand and is scheduled to take place from 20 July to 20 August 2023; it will be the first FIFA Women’s World Cup to have more than one host nation and also be the first senior World Cup of either gender to be held across multiple confederations.
In addition, this tournament will be the first to feature the expanded format of 32 teams, from the previous 24, a clear example of the growth of women´s football. Due to historical attendance in continental and local competitions, 2022 was one of the most important years, if not the most relevant, in the history of women´s football, and the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup could be a breaking point in women´s football history.
