Stage
September 20th to October 12th
Originally slated to be held in China the Women's World Cup [WWC]
was moved to the USA due to the SARS scare.
Women's football has come a long way in recent years and it is to
be hoped the media will take notice of the improvements in the women's
game. This is the fourth FIFA Women's World Cup; team USA won the
first in 1991, Norway won the second in 1995, the USA won the third
in 1999.
The 2003 edition of the WWC features four groups of four teams.
The top two teams from each group will progress to the quarter-finals
in Foxboro/Boston and Portland.
The semi-finals will both be held in Portland on October 5th (19.30
and 22.30).
The Third/Fourth place playoff will be in Carson/Los Angeles on
October 11th (15.30).
The Final will take place in Carson/Los Angeles on October 12th
(13.00).

Group A
Nigeria - African Champions.
People's Republic of Korea - Asian Champions.
Sweden - third place in the 1991 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
USA - 1991 FIFA Women’s World Cup Champions; 1999 FIFA Women’s

Group A is the so-called "group of death" due to
the high quality of the four teams. Interesting that in the current
political climate North Korea (People's Republic of Korea) will
be meeting ideological enemies USA; let's hope the fireworks are
restricted to the field of play.
