The final round of the FIFA World Cup of Women 2019 ( English : FIFA Women's World Cup in 2019 ) was the eighth playout of the most important tournament for women's football - teams and was on June 7 to July 7, 2019 in France held. 24 national teams competed against each other first in the group stage in six groups and then in the knockout system . The World Cup also served as a qualifying tournament for the European participants for the 2020 Summer Olympics .

Award

On March 6, 2014, FIFA opened the application process for the World Cup in 2019. Member associations interested in hosting the tournament had to submit a declaration of interest by April 15, 2014 and submit their application documents by October 31, 2014. With the award of the 2019 World Cup, FIFA also linked the 2018 U-20 World Cup .

Five associations initially applied to host the tournament:

•  England
•  France
•  New Zealand
•  South Africa
•  South Korea

None of these countries had previously hosted a women's world championship. New Zealand hosted the U-17 World Cup in 2008 . Sweden and Japan had previously also expressed their interest in hosting the event, but waived an official declaration of interest from FIFA.

In June 2014, England and New Zealand withdrew their applications. In England, low prospects of success were cited as the reason, while New Zealand backed out for financial reasons. South Africa also withdrew its application before the submission deadline for the documents. Only South Korea and the French association FFF presented their official application dossier to FIFA on October 30, 2014 in Zurich . The French delegation led by Noël Le Graët and Brigitte Henriques also included official representatives of the government and all potential venues.

France prevailed in the vote on March 19, 2015. It is the third world championship on European soil. According to a statement from its President Noël Le Graët , the FFF calculates with a total budget of 35 million euros.

Venues

Grenoble Le Havre Lyon Montpellier Nice Paris Reims Rennes Valenciennes

Venues 2019 in France

The French football association FFF named eleven provisional venues for the tournament in its application. Ten of these venues were already completed at the time they were awarded or had been in operation for years, while the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu near Lyon was not completed until the beginning of 2016.

The Stade de la Mosson in Montpellier was one of the venues for the 1998 Men's World Cup . The Parc Olympique Lyonnais and the Allianz Riviera stadium in Nice were the venues for the 2016 European Men's Championship . The stadium in Nice had to bear the name Stade de Nice in 2016 due to the sponsor's name . The name was also used at the 2019 World Cup.

Eight of the eleven stadiums had a capacity of between 20,000 and 30,000 spectators. The largest stadium was the Parc Olympique Lyonnais with a capacity of 61,556 spectators; the smallest stadium, however, the Stade Jean-Bouin in the capital Paris , only offered space for 20,000 spectators. All eleven stadiums had natural grass as a playing area. With this decision, the FFF prevented a controversy like the 2015 World Cup , where some players wanted to boycott the tournament because of the artificial turf playing surfaces.

In June 2017, the French association, in consultation with FIFA, decided to remove the stadiums in Auxerre and Nancy from the list; in addition, it was not the smaller Stade Jean-Bouin but the Parc des Princes that was selected from the capital . World Cup matches were held in the following nine venues:

Grenoble	Le Havre	Lyon	Montpellier
Stade des Alpes Capacity: 20,068	Stade Océane Capacity: 25,198	Parc Olympique Lyonnais Capacity: 61,556	Stade de la Mosson Capacity: 32,932
Nice	Paris	Reims	Rennes	Valenciennes
Stade de Nice Capacity: 35,624	Parc des Princes Capacity: 44,283	Stade Auguste-Delaune Capacity: 21,684	Roazhon Park Capacity: 29,778	Stade du Hainaut Capacity: 24,926

According to the final plan of the organizing committee, the eleven of the hosts should be set as the head of preliminary group A and play the opening game in Paris' Prinzenpark on June 7, 2019. The French women’s next two games were played in Nice and Rennes. The group game phase ran until June 20th, the round of 16 games from June 22nd to 25th and the quarter-finals from June 27th to 29th. Lyon was chosen as the venue for the two semi-finals (July 2nd and 3rd) and the final (July 7th); the game for third place took place in Nice.

Rule changes

The rule changes made by the IFAB on June 1, 2019, applied to the tournament :

• Players of the attacking team would have to keep a distance of at least one meter from a wall of the defending team consisting of at least three players.
• A yellow card for taking off the jersey while celebrating the goal was retained even if the goal was z. B. was revoked by video evidence.
• In the event of a goal kick, the ball no longer had to leave the penalty area to be played.
• The rules for handball have been clarified:
  • A goal scored by touching the hand or arm was invalid, even if it was touched unintentionally or if the player gave another player the opportunity to shoot at goal by controlling or holding the ball.
  • A hand game is when the arm or hand increases the area of ​​the body or the arm or hand was above the shoulder, even if this was done unintentionally.
  • There was no hand game if the player wanted to protect the body with the hand or arm when falling, unless it increases the area of ​​the body unnaturally.
  • There was no handball in the case of an intentional return game to the goalkeeper if the goalkeeper tried to continue playing the ball without using her hands, but failed and then touched the ball.
• The team that won the side vote was allowed to choose whether to either kick off the game or on which side to start the game.
• In the event of a penalty kick, the goalkeeper had to have at least one leg on the goal line. In the event of a violation, the penalty kick was repeated and the goalkeeper received a yellow card . The latter was modified after criticism by the IFAB on June 21st so that the goalkeepers in penalties did not receive a yellow card.
• In the event of a penalty kick, an injured player who took the penalty kick was allowed to receive brief treatment on the field beforehand.
• In the event of a substitution, a player had to leave the field by the shortest possible route.
• Team officials could receive a yellow or red card in the event of a rule violation. If the person who committed the violation is not clearly identifiable, the head coach will receive the card when he is in the technical zone.
• In the case of a referee's ball, the goalkeeper in the penalty area and outside a player of the team who last touched him received the ball where it was last touched. In all cases, the other players had to keep a distance of at least four meters.
• If the ball touched the referee or another match official and went into the goal, changed possession or started a promising attack, there was a ball from the referee. Which removes the old rule that the referee is air.

That these rules were applied for the first time in this tournament and not partially parallel competitions of men and women so as " guinea pigs (Engl. Guinea pigs)" served the "sexism" was criticized in some quarters with the accusation.
