“As I write this, 1,032,884 tickets have been sold. This means that with over one month to go before kick-off, we have surpassed the numbers sold for France 2019, thus meaning that Australia & New Zealand 2023 is on track to become the most attended Fifa Women’s World Cup in history. The future is women – 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,” he said.
The World Cup will begin at Eden Park in Auckland/Tāmaki Makaurau on Thursday, 20 July, with co-hosts New Zealand up against 1995 winners Norway.
Vera Pauw’s Republic of Ireland will take on Australia in their tournament opener at the 83,500-capacity Stadium Australia. All of the tickets put on general sale for the game have been sold out.
