FIFA said it is giving away 20,000 free tickets for Women's World Cup games in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Dunedin amid concerns about the slow pace of sales in New Zealand.


quote:

Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is also trying to drum up interest.

"My feed is going to be dominated by a lot of football chat these next few weeks -- not because I'm an expert, but because I'm so excited that New Zealand is hosting such a massive event..." she wrote in an Instagram post.




Meh, move to soccer board if you want.

the sad part is the game was growing in popularity until they injected politics like they did

Have they considered making the women play in bikinis like beach volleyball?

They'd have to give away tickets for the flights too. And reimburse the leave hours I'd take off work to go.
