FIFA Women’s World Cup Opening Ceremony to Celebrate Diversity and Inclusion
- Tournament will be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
- The opening match will be played on July 20.
- Final will be played on August 20 at Sydney Olympic Stadium.
The eagerly anticipated FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 is nearing, and New Zealand and Australia are fully ready to co-host this prestigious event for the very first time.
The upcoming ninth edition of the tournament will comprise 64 matches, and the opening match, along with the grand opening ceremony, is scheduled to be held on July 20 at Auckland’s Eden Park in New Zealand.
Eden Park, New Zealand’s largest stadium, is expected to create an electrifying atmosphere with a capacity to accommodate up to 50,000 spectators. This iconic venue has a rich history of hosting significant matches, including the Rugby World Cup final in 2011.
The opening ceremony of the mega event will feature two confirmed artists, BENEE from New Zealand and Mallrat from Australia. They will enchant the audience with their voices as they perform “Do It Again,” the official song of the Women’s World Cup.
This tournament will be unique as it will be hosted by both Australia and New Zealand, with matches taking place at ten different stadiums.
The previous Women’s FIFA World Cup in 2019 saw Team USA emerge victorious by defeating the Netherlands 2-0 in the final, securing their second consecutive and fourth overall title.
