FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 Facts

The 2023 competition will mark both the first co-hosted women’s World Cup and the first time a World Cup for men or women will be split between two continental organizations. Most of the nine UEFA voters, who were from the European soccer body, voted in favour of Colombia’s application. The Women’s World Cup, which was first held in 1991, has never been held in South America. Australia, the top-ranked women’s football team, and No. 23 New Zealand will both automatically qualify for the competition. One of the three bidders, Colombia, which is now ranked No. 25, was the only one to not be accepted for the 2019 tournament.
