The 2023 Women's World Cup soccer tournament in Australia and New Zealand continues to outsell previous tournaments, with FIFA aiming for upwards of 1.5 million tickets by July's kick-off.
abc.net.au/news/fifa-says-half-a-million-tickets-sold-for-2023-women-world-cup/101862042As 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.
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 to the venue of the final due to high demand. However, FIFA has confirmed to the ABC that no games have been completely exhausted, and that more sales phases are scheduled before the tournament's opening games on July 20, including to all three Matildas group games as well as the final.The ABC understands that Irish officials could have applied for a greater allocation of tickets, and FIFA expects Australia's large Irish expat community to turn out for their three group games.
