This book offers a critical examination of the 2023 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) Women's World Cup, being held in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Drawing on perspectives from sociology, history, political science, and management, it sheds new light on the development of women's soccer and on women's sport more broadly.

This book examines the politics of the build-up to the tournament, including the bidding process, as well as how the tournament has been represented in the media, the governance structures of the tournament itself, and policy proposals designed to leave an enduring legacy for women and girls in sport. The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup is the first Women's World Cup to be held in the Southern Hemisphere and the first to be held with an expanded 32-team format. This book shows why the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup represents a unique opportunity to enhance our understanding of women's football, gender-oriented sport development initiatives and strategies, national sport policy and programming, and the management of international sporting events.

This book is fascinating reading for any student, researcher, or practitioner with an interest in sport development, sport management, sport policy, sport sociology, event management, gender studies, political science, or the relationship between sport and wider society.
