Eednud Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 The 2023 Women’s World Cup will be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand in preference to Colombia after others had withdrawn their bids. Games will be played from 10 July to 20 August, so clashing with both rugby codes and aerial ping pong seasons. Opening game will be in Auckland (I think) with the Final in Sydney. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajwffc Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Eden Park is due to get the opening game. They will probably get Super Rugby to finish at the start of July and delay the start of the Rugby Championship (or have New Zealand and Australia away to Argentina and South Africa in the first 2 rounds with New Zealand v Australia in round 3). Also the Dunedin Stadium is an indoor stadium so might be the first non age grade World Cup to be played indoors(ground was used for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the 2011 Rugby World Cup) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Eden Park's shite. Should have held the opening game at Kiwitea Street. A far superior place to watch football Edited June 26, 2020 by AsimButtHitsASix 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Patterson Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Would have loved it to be Colombia, purely for the trip to Medellin but alas. ANZ will be a good tournament, good crowds as well I reckon. 32 teams so good chance of us qualifying as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone would think there was something wrong with the place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably much safer than say South Africa that hosted the 2010 WC or Mexico that's away to co-host 2026. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
