Canberra: The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup has hit a major milestone, with ticket sales surpassing one million.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino on Friday revealed that 1.03 million tickets have been sold for the ninth Women's World Cup, to be held in Australia and New Zealand between July 20 and August 20, surpassing the total sales for the 2019 World Cup in France.
It means the event is on track to become the most attended standalone women's sporting event in history.
"Delighted to share with the world that FIFA has passed one million tickets sold for this year's FIFA Women's World Cup, to be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand," Infantino said in a statement.
"This means that with over one month to go before kick-off, we have surpassed the numbers sold for France 2019, thus meaning that Australia & New Zealand 2023 is on track to become the most attended FIFA Women's World Cup in history." (with UNI inputs)
