Where is the next FIFA World Cup? What to know about men's, women's tournaments in 2026 and beyond
View Date:2025-01-10 00:00:45
The 2023 FIFA World Cup is set to begin, as co-hosts Australia and New Zealand have their first matches Thursday.
The 2023 tournament will be the first time a World Cup for men or women will be shared across two countries from different FIFA confederations. Australia is a member of Asia’s soccer body and New Zealand is in the Oceania group.
It is also the first women's World Cup to have more than one host nation.
The tournament begins July 20 and the championship match is scheduled for August 20 at Sydney Olympic Stadium in Australia.
The combined Australia and New Zealand bid officially won the bid to host the World Cup in June 2020, beating Colombia 22-13 in a vote by FIFA's ruling council, which judged them as having the best commercial prospects for women's soccer.
