It has been found out that more than 500,000 tickets have been sold for this year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
It’s a good start for the tournament, which starts on July 20 in Auckland and ends on August 20 in Sydney. There are still plenty of tickets left, though, and no match has sold out.
FIFA says that fans from 120 countries have bought tickets so far.
“Ticket sales for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup are off to a great start, and it’s not just fans from Australia and New Zealand who are buying them,” said Fatma Samoura, the secretary general of FIFA.
“The top 10 buyers of FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 tickets so far are from the United States, England, Qatar, Germany, China, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, and France.
“This shows how great the women’s game is and how passionate it makes football fans around the world, who want to be a part of the FIFA Women’s World Cup and see it go #BeyondGreatness.”

FIFA wants to sell 1.5 million tickets to the tournament, which would beat the record of 1.35 million set at the Women’s World Cup in Canada in 2015.
Four years ago, 1.13 million people went to the event in France.
There are more women playing football now than ever before.
Last year’s UEFA Women’s European Championship had the most people ever attend.
This included the final, when hosts England beat Germany 2-1 to win the trophy in front of 87,192 people at Wembley Stadium. This was a record for a women’s international match in Europe and for any European Championship finals match.
There are still some tickets that haven’t been made available to the public, and many more are expected to go on sale in the coming months, including for the most popular games.
This includes the final, which will be held at the 83,500-seat Stadium Australia in Sydney, which was built for the Olympics and Paralympics in 2000.
FIFA is looking into whether or not to move Australia’s first Group B match against Ireland on July 20 from Allianz Stadium, which can hold 45,000 people, to Stadium Australia, which can hold 20,000.
New Zealand will play Norway in the first game of the tournament earlier that day at Eden Park in Auckland. This is Group A.
The United States are the two-time defending champions, and they will start their quest for a third title against Vietnam in Auckland on July 22.
Ireland and Vietnam are two of the five countries that are joining the tournament for the first time. The other four are Morocco, the Philippines, and Zambia.
