A record number of tickets—1.5 million—have been sold to this year’s Women’s World Cup, making it the most attended women’s sporting event ever.
There is a sneaking sense that Australia—which is co-hosting the 2023 Women’s World Cup with New Zealand—has become, after years of striving and occasional success, a soccer country.The third official edition of the Women’s World Cup was held in 1999, in the United States. The home team won. The experience, and the victory, transported women’s soccer—which, like all soccer in the U.S., existed then in the margins of the American sports world—into something approaching the mainstream.
To the Australian soccer fan, the simple act of hosting the World Cup is so amazing that it can slip into the absurd. The English team is staying on the Central Coast. Brazil scored one of the most dazzling goals of the tournament so far in Adelaide.
Irish fans were also everywhere: on the train, a choir of men broke into “Back Home in Derry,” a Republican song about being shipped off to Australia; then they launched into “Zombie,” by the Cranberries. Minutes before the match, the Australian team announced that Kerr had injured her calf in training and would miss the first two games of the tournament. Australia beat Ireland without her, but the match was tense, and the nervousness of eighty thousand people found its way onto the field.
