Although the Copa America will take place this summer, plenty of football fans will have World Cup withdrawal after being spoiled by the action in Brazil during the last off-season.
However, the 2015 Women’s World Cup is set to fill the void and promises to be an exciting festival of football over the space of a month this summer.
The 24-team competition will be held in Canada from June 6 until July 5, with six host cities spreading the action out around the huge North American nation.
Japan enter into the competition as holders, after winning the 2011 event in Germany in the most dramatic fashion.
