Spectacular presentation and amazing information. I would love to see Australia and New Zealand bid for a FIFA Men's World Cup in the future. I think it will happen sooner then expected. Well done and applause to both nations. I know this Women's World Cup will be excellent and exceptional.
given the level of corruption involved in the bidding process it will be a very very long time before Australia will ever bid for the mens world cup ever again, soccer is not the most popular sport here , AFL , NRL, Cricket and Rugby Union all have a bigger national appeal
I absolutely love the women's international football tournaments, I support England, and the sheer desire to win backed up by a real togetherness was an utter joy to watch this summer as the lionesses won Euro 2022. Bring on the 2023 world cup, it will be fantastic and lots of people are going to go, the roof has been blown off the women's game, it is only going to get more and more followers.
I've fallen in love with your channel recently, as I too have a strange fascination with stadiums. I have an idea for a great video, I'm not sure if you've explored the idea yet because I'm so new to your channel. I think everyone would really enjoy a video about some of the original jewel box stadiums for professional baseball. Keep up the fantastic work, mate!
It's great to have NZ as part of the bid and hosting; however, Australia could have done this on their own. Add in the new stadium in Townsville, plus Gold Coast, Canberra and (if FIFA allow 3-venues in one city... oh wait, they had them all in pretty much one city in Qatar) Parramatta. Just on AAMI Park, erm... Melbourne Rectangular Stadium (rolls off the tongue, hey?) looks great but actually has some pretty horrible sightlines, especially when you're seated next to one of the vomitories. The large concrete stair areas mean you have to stand and look over them.
Australia needed the OFC Votes that NZ provided to get the WWC otherwise AFC would have voted for Japan over Australia and the 2023 WWC would have ended up in Japan
Forsyth Barr is a sponsor name (NZ financial firm). Think the official name is Otago Stadium (which is the region that Dunedin is located in). That mega screen (Great Southern Screen) at Stadium Australia is epic, used well in player intros at the games. Albeit in game mode it's just a scoreboard, two TV screens and some ad boards.
Yes, Wellington Regional Stadium is called “the cake tin” because it looks like one. I still remember the old stadium, Athletic Park opened in 1896 and closed in 1999.
i went to the fifa Qatar world cup went to 20 matches including the final, the metro and bus was free and the Qataris were very hospitable ❤️ i hope Australia dose a good job too with the women’s world cup.
AFL season will still be ongoing during the time of World Cup. Most likely they wouldn’t be willing to let it be borrowed for soccer matches for a month lol
@@jerryberry5480 Same problem in Adelaide, I wish they used the spectacular Adelaide Oval right in the city..instead we ended up with the smallest stadium of all :(
@@midgetwars1 nope, nrl teams are banned from playing games at the major venues during the world cup. NRL will be played at the Gabba to fans uproar. Nrl fans would rather play regional games for the broncos.
Suggestion: Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association Football Stadiums Please do it, I would like to see our nearby college's stadium in full because I've never been there.😐
Interestingly, the stadiums in Townsville and Gold Coast are much newer and larger than the stadiums in Perth and Adelaide which are featured in this video. But I guess they want to avoid having games in these smaller cities and it seems like NZ is hosting 50% of matches.
The issue hasn't been the quality of the stadiums which Australia particularly has a lot of . The time zones of NZ and Australia hasn't made it appealing to European broadcasters . Given the need to grow the game I would of assumed a friendlier time zone might of been the deal breaker when the proposals were considered. Then again knowing Fifa history with dubious and corrupt decisions thats always in the back of minds. I actually live in NZ so Im happy they have chosen this part of the world.
You can tell by the stadiums which states aren't exactly "rugby" friendly thus soccer friendly stadiums. Perth and Adelaide are severely lacking as they focus on Optus Stadium and Adelaide Oval.
Could the haters calm down a bit and leave the same old bullshit about women's football. This year we had women's soccer games with over 90,000 people in the stadium!
Yeah man, stadiums in this country seem to be deemed as bit of a waste of public money so even in Auckland they still don’t have a new modern covered stadium, nor a proper intl cricket ground for Chrissake! I sure hope ChCh finally gets one asap. Deserves it.
@@mark123655 yeah but I live 16 minutes away from commbank and Allianz 45 minutes and parking much prefer commbank should of done it instead of the regional New Zealand one

Being held during AFL season, FIFA requires that stadiums can only host world cup matches during the tournament and nothing else. The NRL now has to deal with that problem of its main venues out of action for a month and a bit.
Sadly, most stadiums here in NZ are rather old, smallish and not really upto modern standards really, especially Eden Park, such a hole of a place to have major games, and as a cricket ground it’s a joke. Auckland lost its chance to have a proper modern stadium down at the waterfront for the last rugby World Cup, but alas Eden park backers ran a hefty campaign to destroy anything new being built and consequently Auckland has been stuck with the old dog for years now. We do not even have a “national stadium”, (despite media promoting it as such). Maybe the women’s soccer world cup will help promote new investment and new stadiums in the future, since it will show the poor quality available in NZ currently, compared to most of those shown in Aust at any rate.
Mate, I'd be very cautious playing the we are so politically conscious 'Women's Vote' card when compared to Kuwait. Australia's human rights record when it comes to it's indigenous population is hardly flawless...
Hindmarsh Stadium is regarded widely as having probably the best playing surface in the country , but don’t let that stop you taking your bias elsewhere 🙄🤡
Your video had some Politics mixed in it. Do your homework dude, men and WOMEN have the right to vote in Qatar. They vote for the consultative assembly and they have an electoral law in place.
Based on the last couple of WWCs, the host nation will consistently fill a stadium of over 50,000 capacity, while some other matches will reach 25,000-30,000 by the time the quarter-finals roll around. Having a handful of big stadiums isn't necessarily bad, especially since they generally have better amenities.
@@lemurking6896 You are comparing numbers with semi-finals or finals where on last WWCs tickets were cheap like sand on Sahara or even free. Not only stadiums will be empty or half empty but host will not even receive 1% cash back from hosting this event.

got tickets to the games at Lang Park, gonna be a great world cup
YT recommended me this vid, and that opening shot is literally my hometown. It's Moffat Beach in Caloundra, Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
It's great that Oz is hosting the WWC, but a country with stadiums like this should also be hosting the Men's World Cup.
I’m surprised that Perth Rectangular stadium was chosen over the newly built Perth (Optus) Stadium
Optus isn't the best venue for football
