Brisbane/Meaanjin has celebrated “Two Days to Go” until the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™ with the arrival of a giant 20 metre FIFA Unity Jersey and the official FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™ mascot Tazuni via boat on the Brisbane River. Tazuni then made her way to Brisbane Stadium where she was greeted with a Corroboree performance by Traditional Owners and Custodians of Brisbane, the Turrbal Tribe.
The scenes were captured via a team of 360 degree drones and are set to be broadcast to the rest of the world as Brisbane/Meaanjin prepares to host eight games during the tournament. Five of those will come during the group stage - including Australia's second group stage match with Nigeria - while the play-off for third place will round off the arena's three knockout fixtures.
European champions England will take to the pitch against Haiti to kick off the stadium's tournament, before France and Brazil do battle in Group F on 29 July. Nigeria will return to Brisbane/Meaanjin to face Republic of Ireland on matchday three of Group B, and two-time winners Germany will take on Korea Republic in Group H. The winners of Group D will then take on the runners-up of Group B in the Round of 16 on 7 August, with a quarter-final set to follow five days later. The two losing semi-finalists will battle it out for the bronze medal to bring down the curtain for this venue on 19 August. Tickets are still available for most matches in Brisbane/Meaanjin at fifa.com/tickets.
