As preparations for the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand reach their final stages, FIFA has announced that more than 500,000 tickets have already been sold — but, don't fear, more are on the way.
Fans from 129 countries have bought tickets to the inaugural 32-team tournament, with punters from the two co-hosting nations leading the way, followed by the United States, England, Qatar, Germany, China, Canada, the Republic of Ireland and France.
The most-sought-after game is the final on August 20 at Stadium Australia in Sydney, while FIFA is aiming to move the Matildas' opening group match against the Republic of Ireland from the smaller-capacity Sydney Football Stadium (capacity 42,500) to the venue of the final (83,500) due to high demand.
