July 20, 2022 marks one year to go until the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™ commences.

To mark this milestone moment we are partnering in an event to create a sense of anticipation and excitement and set the tone for what is to come; a statement and invitation to the world to share in history in the making; sharing in moments of Beyond Greatness™ that will be driven by the cultural movement happening in the women’s game. 

This movement will crescendo at our tournament of firsts in 2023 – the pinnacle of women's football.
