FIFA President Gianni Infantino has announced that 1.375 million tickets have been sold for the Women’s World Cup, scheduled for July 20 to August 20 in Australia and New Zealand.
Speaking at the World Cup launch press conference in the New Zealand city of Auckland, Infantino said women’s football has seen “incredible growth” over the past decade.
For her part, FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura reminded us: “We still have tickets available for most matches, but don’t wait until the last minute”.
The kick-off of the World Cup will be given on Thursday in Auckland with the match between New Zealand and Norway, the same day that Australia will cross swords with Ireland in Sydney to sold-out crowds, in front of 80,000 spectators.
Morocco will begin its campaign in this competition against Germany, two-time world champion, on July 24 in Melbourne. This will be followed six days later by the match against Korea Republic in Adelaide, before the final day of the group stage against Colombia in Perth on August 3.
