The final round of the ninth FIFA Women's World Cup ( English FIFA Women's World Cup ) to July-August 2023 Australia and New Zealand held.
Attendees
Gianni Infantino , the President of FIFA , spoke out after the 2019 World Cup to expand the tournament to 32 teams and to double the prize money. The FIFA Congress approved the expansion at the end of July 2019.
Applications and awarding
Eleven associations had officially expressed their interest in hosting the event. There were initially nine individual applications and two joint applications (the two Korean football associations, as well as Australia with New Zealand). For all countries it would be the first staging of a women's soccer world championship.
Due to the FIFA regulations for awarding the World Cup, the World Cup should not take place in the same confederation in direct succession . Since the 2019 World Cup was held in France, an application from Europe ( UEFA ) for the 2023 World Cup is out of the question. Nevertheless, the Belgian association had also expressed its interest.
On September 3, 2019, FIFA confirmed nine applicant associations (i.e. seven applications) to host the World Cup. Belgium and Bolivia were no longer in the race. The associations from Australia / New Zealand (joint application), Brazil, Colombia and Japan submitted the signed event contract and all other application and event documents to FIFA by 13 December. In January and February 2020, inspections by the world association were carried out at the applicant associations. At the beginning of June 2020, the Brazilian association withdrew its application due to the COVID-19 pandemic , as did Japan on June 22nd.
The final announcement of the organizer was scheduled for June 25, 2020. The FIFA Council , made up of 35 officials, voted with 22 votes in favor of Australia and New Zealand applying together . 13 members voted for Colombia's application .
