FIFA has announced that all nine host cities of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup will have a FIFA fan festival.
The Football governing body says the festivals will be open to people of all ages.
This is to provide a vibrant destination for all to celebrate the global game and experience the best in football, music, entertainment, local culture, food, and games.
Fans will also have the opportunity to watch the tournament drama unfold on large screens at each venue.
FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura said the fans festival is aimed at promoting togetherness.
“Whether you are an avid fan or a football newcomer, the FIFA fan festival provides an exciting entertainment space that brings people together beyond football.
“Our mission is to make football truly global, accessible and inclusive. These exciting events provide an opportunity to experience football in new ways in a fun festival environment.”

This is the first time a FIFA Women’s World Cup tournament will feature a fans’ festival.
The FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023 will be the ninth edition of the tournament.
Australia and New Zealand will co-host the tournament, which will take place from July 20 to August 20, 2023. It will be the first FIFA Women’s World Cup with more than one host nation.
It will also be the first senior World Cup for either gender to be held across multiple confederations, as Australia is from the Asian Confederation and New Zealand is a member of the Oceanian Confederation.
