This year's FIFA Women's World Cup tournament will kick off on 20 July and run until 20 August. Defending the title, with a chance of a third consecutive triumph, will be the Americans. This will be the first FIFA Women's World Cup to have more than one host country, and the first senior one for either genders to be held in more than one confederation, as Australia is in the Asian Confederation and New Zealand is in the Oceania Confederation.

Samoura added that this case reflects the growing value of women's football and the great enthusiasm that is growing among fans around the world who want to be part of the championship. Attendance at the World Championships is therefore looking really promising so the upcoming tournament will have a chance to break the previous record if sales continue at the same rate.
