2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Sports event in Canada
The 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup was an international soccer tournament held across Canada, bringing together 24 national teams to compete over several weeks. Matches took place in multiple venues, with the competition featuring group stages, knockout rounds, and a championship final.
This was the seventh edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup, representing the tournament's evolution since its debut in 1991 with just 12 teams in Sweden. The 2015 event reflected decades of growth and increased investment in women's soccer worldwide.
The tournament played a significant role in promoting women's soccer globally.
The tournament took place across six different Canadian cities, requiring spectators to travel between venues depending on which matches they wanted to watch. Planning ahead and checking the schedule was essential to make the most of attending multiple games.
This was the first Women's World Cup to use goal-line technology, a system that helped referees make accurate decisions on contested goals. The innovation set a precedent that would become standard in future international soccer competitions.
