It's about time to start welcoming teams into Australia and New Zealand.
Thirty-two teams of at least 23 members will be entering the land Down Under for the 2023 Women's World Cup slated to begin July 20.
For the first time, players will be getting a Team Base Camp (TBC) -- a “home away from home” for teams that includes a training site and accommodation.
“With great support from our Host Countries, Governments, and the Host Cities, FIFA will provide each team with the best training and preparation environment possible, enabling them to focus on their performances at the tournament while at the same time offering them the chance to connect with people and communities where they are based," FIFA Chief Women’s Football Officer Sarai Bareman said.
But which cities and hotels will teams be staying at? Here we take a look:
