☆ Women's World Cup final eight is wide open, as sport sees a changing of the guard
  + stars: | 2023-08-09 | by ( Lori Ewing | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
When the tournament was expanded to 32 teams, there was apprehension around whether lower-ranked sides could compete at this level. Concerns about blowouts were blown out of the water in a changing of the guard. Japan are the only previous World Cup champions remaining, having climbed the winners' podium in 2011. In an end of an era, the elimination of the U.S., Canada and Brazil marked inauspicious World Cup finales for some of the game's biggest trailblazers in Megan Rapinoe, Christine Sinclair and Marta. The Lionesses have more big-game experience as reigning European champions, but Colombia have enjoyed better fan support than any team except Australia.

AUCKLAND, July 19 (Reuters) - Excitement was building across Auckland as the city prepared to kick off the Women's World Cup on Wednesday, the culmination of years of effort to bring the largest ever standalone women's sporting event to its shores. Auckland will host nine matches at Eden Park across the tournament, including one semi-final. While Australia's Matildas are genuine title contenders, the Football Ferns have never won a match at a Women's World Cup. With digital billboards popping up around Auckland featuring the women's home team, Chance said she is already seeing signs of change. The ninth Women's World Cup runs until Aug. 20 when the final takes place in Sydney.

"But this women's tournament is not just about football, it's about celebrating women's sports and women's empowerment all over the world." "Currently, only 40% of football facilities nationwide are classified as female-friendly," Football Australia said in a statement. 'UNITY BEAT'New Zealand is staging its third global sporting event in less than two years, having hosted the women's Rugby World Cup and women's Cricket World Cup last year.

According to a FIFA report, some 1.12 billion viewers tuned into the 2019 Women's World Cup in France where the U.S. won their fourth title and their second in succession.
