There has been a lot of excitement regarding the upcoming FIFA Men’s World Cup. However, there is another World Cup that is barely getting any attention. The Women’s World Cup is just as important and exciting as the Men’s version, but it does not get nearly as much recognition. The Women's FIFA World Cup is an international women’s football competition organized by FIFA once every four years. The record-breaking final in 2015 was played in front of a sold-out crowd at Vancouver’s BC Place stadium with an estimated one billion viewers worldwide. However, this tournament will take place on home soil for Canada, which means that local fans do not have to travel far from home to see their team play on home soil. Let’s take a look at everything you need to know about the upcoming Women's World Cup in Canada.
Where and When Will the Women’s World Cup be Held?
The Women’s World Cup will take place in Canada between June 6 and July 7. This tournament will be the first Women’s World Cup to be hosted by three countries (Canada, the USA, and Mexico). The group stage will take place in Edmonton, Toronto, and Montréal, with the semifinals and final taking place in Vancouver. The tournament will be hosted in two stadiums that can hold more than 54,000 people. The majority of games will be played in Vancouver’s BC Place Stadium and Montreal’s Stade Olympique, which can both hold more than 60,000 people.
The Participating Teams
24 teams are participating in the FIFA Women’s World Cup. These teams have been drawn into six groups of four teams each. The top two teams from each group will then progress to the knockout phase of the tournament. The 24 teams competing at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 in Canada will be divided into six groups of four teams. The teams have been seeded based on their ranking, which was determined by the FIFA Women’s World Rankings in October 2018. The top eight teams in the rankings (excluding the hosts) will be seeded in Group A, B, C, D, E, and F. The other 16 teams will be unseeded.

Key Players To Watch During the Women's World Cup
- Carli Lloyd of the United States: Lloyd is the most prolific goalscorer in women’s international football. She has already scored 161 goals and has represented her country in three FIFA Women’s World Cups. She was also a key player for the United States team that won the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015.
- Sam Kerr of Australia: Kerr became the first Australian player to score 50 international goals when she scored against Japan in March. She has also played in three FIFA Women’s World Cups and scored seven goals during the 2015 tournament.
- Amandine Henry of France: Henry captains the French national team and has played in three FIFA Women’s World Cups. She has scored an impressive 20 goals for France, including one in the 2017 Euro final against the Netherlands.
Why is the Women’s World Cup Important?
The Women’s World Cup is important because it is a representation of how women are treated in the sports world. Fans, coaches, and general managers do not treat the women’s game with respect and they do not give it the importance that it deserves. The Women’s World Cup has been held every four years since 1991, and every tournament has been won by either the United States or Japan. These two countries have won every tournament held since 2003, and they have met in the final in every tournament since 2011. The next Women’s World Cup will take place in Canada, and the host nation will look to break the stranglehold of the two dominant teams.
Conclusion
The FIFA Women’s World Cup is an important football tournament on many fronts. It is the most important football tournament in the world for women, as it is the most prestigious tournament in the women’s game. It is also the most important football event in Canada, as it draws significant attention and media coverage to the host country. The next Women’s World Cup will be played between June 6 and July 7, 2019, in Canada. It will be the first Women’s World Cup hosted by three countries (Canada, the USA, and Mexico), and the tournament will be played in two stadiums that can hold more than 54,000 people. The host nation will look to break the stranglehold of the two dominant teams.
