The 2023 World Cup will be groundbreaking in more ways than one way.
It will be the first with 32 teams, up from the 24 nations who competed at last year’s finals in France, won by the United States.
That means more matches and more revenue to be ploughed back into women’s football.
The sports-mad host nations are expecting 1.5 million spectators, which would be another record, while prize money is set to be most ever offered, reflecting the growth of the game. (France24)
