As of March 3, it’s now only 96 days until the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup kicks off on June 7 with hosts France taking on South Korea at the Parc des Princes in Paris. With the date fast approaching, we can now feast our eyes on the official FIFA tournament posters for each of the nine host cities.
Both FOX and Telemundo will call upon trailblazing women to lead their 2019 Women's World Cup TV coverage this summer.
Aly Wagner and JP Dellacamera were chosen as FOX’s lead announcing team for the Women’s World Cup, the American broadcaster announced Wednesday exactly 100 days out from the start of the biggest soccer tournament of 2019.
During the Oscars TV broadcast on Sunday night, Nike debuted the “Dream Crazier” ad to mark the start of the company’s push toward this summer’s Women’s World Cup in France.
The commercial is a follow-up to the “Dream Crazy” spot which featured narration by Colin Kaepernick and appearances by the USWNT and Canadian international Alphonso Davies.
The bidding process for the 2023 Women's World Cup host began on Tuesday.
The timeline for applications to host the 2023 #FIFAWWC has been confirmed today.

The 2019 Women’s World Cup Final will bring the world to a standstill.
Just look at the 2015 final, where 25.4 million viewers tuned into FOX to watch the USWNT defeat Japan, making it the most-watched soccer match in U.S. history.
And the numbers didn’t just apply to the realm of soccer — those viewership totals exceeded every game of the 2015 NBA Finals, Sunday Night Football, and the primetime average of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games.
The market is obviously there for women’s soccer; it’s just a matter of broadcasters actually committing to it.
Will the 2019 Women’s World Cup use VAR? That’s the question on the minds of the countless players and coaches preparing for this summer’s tournament.
About four months away from the start of the competition, FIFA has yet to confirm whether VAR will be in use at the Women’s World Cup.
But it’s not time to panic just yet, for a couple reasons.
In many ways, the Women’s World Cup is a lot like its male counterpart. In many ways, it isn’t. So with the tournament set to arrive this summer in France, we thought we’d explain how the Women's World Cup works in 2019.
The men’s World Cup has been around since 1930, but the women’s World Cup didn’t start until 1991. The men’s World Cup has 32 teams, the women’s just 24. The U.S. sucks at the men’s World Cup; the U.S. dominates at the Women’s World Cup.
NWSL club Sky Blue FC has been down in the dumps recently due to poor working conditions for its professional athletes. It's so bad that newcomers that just achieved their lifelong dreams of playing professional soccer are refusing to sign with the team. Prior to being drafted, both draftees said they would not play for Sky Blue in hopes that manager Phil Murphy wouldn’t pick them.
The biggest sporting event of 2019 is the Women’s World Cup, which kicks off on June 7 in France. Unlike the players in the men’s version of the tournament, the Women's World Cup Players aren’t quite as recognizable, as they aren’t on TV every day of the week.
But they’re typically much more likable.
I hope you can kick these balls with some of the world's best players. Here's a brief guide to the balls used in some of the world's most popular leagues and how much they cost.
