The greatest and the grandest iteration of any tournament in the women’s game, this World Cup transforms the sport, entering in the consciousness of football’s global fan base and further ensnaring the corporate world.
Just like in the men’s game in this world cup too the USA (three), Germany (two), Japan and Norway (one apiece) have the monopoly on World Cup victory, proving that only a select few can win the ultimate prize. The outsiders like the Netherlands, European champions, and Australia also believe that they can win away with the trophy.
