Australia and New Zealand will co-host the Women’s World Cup in 2023, with the following edition possibly set to take place just two years later. The joint bid beat Colombia 22-13 in a vote Thursday by FIFA's ruling council, which judged them as having the best commercial prospects for women’s soccer. FIFA President Gianni Infantino was one of the members who voted for Australia and New Zealand to stage the first 32-team Women's World Cup, then revived a suggestion aired at last year's tournament in France to stage it every two years instead of every four years.
