The 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be held from Thursday July 20th to Sunday August 20th. The opening match will be hosting teams playing the New Zealand vs. Norway match. The two teams played in Auckland’s Eden Park – the country’s national stadium. The World Cup finals will take place in Australia.
This tournament is set to be the biggest women’s sporting event in history, with more than a million match tickets already sold. This summer’s Women’s World Cup will be jointly co-hosted by both Australia and New Zealand. It’s the first time the tournament will be played in the southern hemisphere and the first time that it’s had more than one host nation.

The cities will be Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. In New Zealand, matches will take place in four cities: Auckland, Dunedin, Hamilton and Wellington.
