The future is Women
“The future is women,” said FIFA president Gianni Infantino on his Instagram, “And thanks to the fans for supporting what will be the greatest FIFA Women’s World Cup ever!
“The momentum is building in the host countries and across the globe. And I look forward to seeing you there to witness the stars of women’s football shine on the world stage.”
Earlier this year, Australia’s opening fixture against the Republic of Ireland was moved to Stadium Australia in Sydney. Which has a capacity of 83,000, in response to what FIFA described as “significant interest in tickets.”
