One place the Canadian WNT won’t be heading to for the next Women’s World Cup in 2023 is Japan.
The Asian nation has withdrawn its bid boosting the likelihood of a ‘Down Under’ joint-hosting between Australia and New Zealand.
There are three days before the vote takes place and the Japanese will now throw their support behind the Trans-Tasman bid, which earlier this month FIFA, football’s global governing body, rated the best with Japan second.
The other candidate left in the ring is Colombia.
Japan won the 2011 Women’s World Cup defeating favourites USA in the final.
