Australia is making a big play to host the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
The Australian government has pledged at least $1 million toward helping the nation win the right to host the next available Women’s World Cup, according to reports in Australia. Another $4 million is on the table if Australia meets FIFA’s initial standards as a host candidate.
The bid for the 24-team tournament will name six cities as hosting venues, including Sydney and Melbourne, with cities like Brisbane and Perth also expected to be named.
The 2023 Women’s World Cup is the next available iteration of the tournament up for grabs.
