2015 FIFA Women's World Cup
The 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup will be the seventh FIFA Women's World Cup, the quadrennial international women's footballworld championship tournament. In March 2011, Canada won the right to host the event. The tournament will be held from 6 June to 5 July.[1]
Host selection
The bidding for each FIFA Women's World Cup includes hosting rights for the previous year's FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (similar to the men's version, in which the host nation stages the Confederations Cup the year before). Bids for the tournament were required to be submitted by December 2010. Only two bids were submitted:[2]
Zimbabwe withdrew on 1 March 2011.[3] The country was seen as a long shot, as its women's team was ranked 103rd in the world at the time of the bid, and has never qualified for a Women's World Cup. There is also ongoing political and economic instability in the country due to the Mugabe regime.[
Mascot
On 17 June 2014, the mascot of the tournament, Shuéme, a female great white owl was unveiled at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa.[12]
Venues
The cities of Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal and Moncton have been selected to host tournament matches.[13] Halifax was also considered, but removed itself from contention in March 2012.[14] Toronto decided not to bid, due to potential conflicts with the 2015 Pan American Games.[15] Due to FIFA's policy against commercial sponsorship of stadium names, Investors Group Field in Winnipeg and TD Place Stadium in Ottawa will respectively be known as Winnipeg Stadium[16] and Lansdowne Stadium[17] during the tournament.
Canada has previously hosted FIFA tournaments including the 1987 FIFA U-16 World Championship, 2002 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship and the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which set an attendance record for that tournament.
