Here is a breakdown of the latest developments in South Africa
South Africa has been selected as the host for the inaugural Fifa Women’s World Cup 2023.
It’s been a long road for South Africa to host the first Women’s World Cup.
But they’ve done it.
The South African Football Association (SAFA) was selected as hosts of the inaugural Fifa Women’s World Cup 2023 on Wednesday, with Cape Town hosting the opening match and final four days later on June 9 and July 7, respectively.
