Wollongong City Council wants to host 2023 Women's FIFA World Cup

Wollongong City Council will support the region’s leading tourism body in its attempt to become a host city if Australia secures the 2023 Women’s FIFA World Cup.

Greens councillor Mithra Cox and her colleagues voted for the council to throw its support behind Destination Wollongong’s expression of interest at Monday night’s council meeting.

There are currently no other official bidders to host the competition, however it is likely Japan, Columbia, South Africa, New Zealand and Thailand will place bids. Australia has a reasonable chance to outbid these nations.

The successful host country will be decided by FIFA in June at the Women’s World Cup in France.
