Women's World Cup co-hosts Australia set for record crowd in France warmup
MELBOURNE :Women's World Cup co-hosts New Zealand need to lift ticket sales in coming weeks given the relatively modest"selling power" of the national Football Ferns team, FIFA executive Sarai Bareman has said.
"In Australia, they are the darlings of the country. Sam Kerr is an absolute superstar and the whole country is in love with football because of the Matildas. The Football Ferns have been on a 10-match winless streak dating back to 2022 and may struggle to reach the World Cup's knock-out rounds. Australia, which has high expectations of the Matildas and thrilled in the men's team's advance to the knock-out phase of the World Cup in Qatar, is expecting record crowds at the women's tournament.
