Sedes de la Copa Mundial Femenina FIFA 2019

June 7, 2019 - July 7, 2019 - La Copa Mundial Femenina FIFA se realiza en Francia, con 24 selecciones nacionales en competencia por coronarse Campeonas Mundiales. Se jugarán 52 partidos en nueve sedes: Lyon, París, Niza, Rennes, Le Havre, Valenciennes, Reims, Montpellier y Grenoble.

The 2019 tournament marks the first showpiece since a remarkable rise in popularity in the women’s game, with increased participation numbers and steady growth of supporter bases.

Host nation France will open the tournament against South Korea in Paris on June 7. Reigning champions United States begin their campaign against Thailand, while England and Scotland kick off Group D -- which also includes 2015 finalists Japan -- in a highly anticipated contest.

Since the first Women’s World Cup in 1991, there have have been seven tournaments; the United States is aiming to lift the trophy for a record-extending fourth time in France after victories in 1991, 1999 and 2015. Three other nations have been crowned World Champions: Germany (2003, 2007), Norway (1995) and Japan (2011).

The final takes place at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon on July 7.
