Sydney has secured the second edition of the FIFA Women’s Football Convention from August 18-19, 2023, to conclude the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 which ends with the final in Sydney.
Held at the International Convention Centre Sydney, the FIFA Women’s Football Convention will host 1,000 delegates over two days in Sydney with an estimate value to the NSW economy of A$1.2 million (US$775,444). This Convention follows the inaugural edition in France in 2019.
FIFA has invited 211 member associations, as well as key global stakeholders, to attend the second Women’s Football Convention, the inaugural event held in 2019. The focus of the Convention will centre around the development of the women’s game, the social benefits of football for women and girls, and the positive impact it can have on female empowerment.
The event will host a variety of international speakers who are influential and successful in their field, chosen because they are playing their part in giving women and girls the chance to fulfil their potential – whether that be in football, sport or society.
BESydney CEO Lyn Lewis-Smith said: “While the FIFA Women’s World Cup has been an incredible event to entertain global audiences and showcase women’s sporting excellence, the FIFA Women’s Football Convention 2023 in Sydney is where advances in the business and the human sides of the world game will be made, creating a legacy to embrace, educate and empower women around the world through football. It also provides Sydney with the opportunity to promote and profile NSW’s sporting excellence and capabilities in hosting the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 and the FIFA Women’s Football Convention.”
