Following the pre-sale, single match passes are now available with prices starting at just A/NZ$20 (£11/$13/€13) for adults and A/NZ$10 for children.

Fans residing in Australia, New Zealand, the US, England, China, Canada, Qatar, Germany, Ireland and France are the top 10 purchasers of FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 tickets so far.

The current ticket sales phase will remain open until March 3, 2023. A final sales phase will then begin in April before the tournament kicks off.

FIFA secretary general Fatma Samoura said: “So far fans from exactly 100 different countries of residence have secured passes for this once-in-a-lifetime event, highlighting the passion and excitement that exists around the world for next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup.

“We’re witnessing strong demand for many fixtures, so I urge everyone to get in quickly during this new sales phase. Join us in making history in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand by adding to the crowd, culture, and colour of the biggest FIFA Women’s World Cup ever.”

The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 will kick off in July 2023 and will feature 32 teams competing in 64 matches across nine host cities. At present, 29 of the 32 competing nations are locked in, with the final three teams to be determined by the first FIFA Women’s World Cup Play-Off Tournament in February next year.
