The tournament takes place in Australia and New Zealand from 20 July to August, 2023, with matches to be played at 10 stadiums in nine cities across the two countries.

There is likely to be considerable interest in the Netherlands given the rising popularity of women's soccer there, with the national team having reached the the World Cup final two years ago, and won Uefa Women's Euro 2017.

The 2019 Women's World Cup was held in France and broadcast in the Netherlands by public-service broadcaster NOS, which attracted the highest-ever audience in the country for a women's soccer match for the Dutch team's 2-0 defeat to the USA in the final.

Media companies can request the Dutch invitation to tender by email by contacting Netherlands-Media-Rights@fifa.org. Bids must be submitted by 10am CEST on 6 July.
