The first edition, with the participation of 32 teams, for the Women’s World Cup in soccer, will start on July 20 in Australia and New Zealand, as the United States aims to win a third successive title in a historic precedent.
The expansion of the tournament was rapid, following only 16 teams participated in Germany 2011, and 24 in France 2019, when the United States retained its title.
This matter reflects the increased interest in women’s football in the last decade, outside its beating heart in the United States of America, while a group of European teams are seeking to win the title this year.
Meanwhile, Australia, led by superstar Samantha Kerr, are hoping to capitalize on the ground factor, dreaming of being in the Sydney final on August 20. And this World Cup is not only bigger in terms of the number of competing countries,
The International Federation (FIFA) tripled the prize money compared to 2019, and the clubs’ compensation basket, due to the participation of its players, increased from $50 million to $152 million.
The increase is huge compared to the 2015 edition, which saved 15 million, and confirmation that the time has come for women’s football to flourish, and international and club matches in Europe have finally seen a huge increase in the number of spectators.
