Adelaide has been selected as the team base camp site for China PR and Panama during the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023.

This is a significant milestone in the history of the tournament, as it is the first time competing countries will use dedicated team base camps as their “home away from home” during the competition period, including an accommodation and training site pairing for the entire delegation.

China PR will have a dedicated training site at the Croatian Sports Centre, which will be upgraded to meet FIFA venue standards with improved lighting and pitch works. Panama, on the other hand, will base itself at the Adelaide United Training Centre.

Jane Fernandez, Chief Operating Officer of FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023, expressed her excitement at this announcement, stating that team base camps will play a crucial role in the upcoming tournament:

“This announcement marks another exciting milestone for Adelaide/Tarntanya in the lead up to the Tournament with Team Base Camps playing a key role in the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time in the history of the event.”

This is an incredible opportunity for the community to get close to the action of the world’s biggest women’s sporting event, and for some of the world’s best teams to experience the passion and enthusiasm of the Adelaide/Tarntanya community.

The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 is the first to be co-hosted by two member federations and the first to be held in the Southern Hemisphere. Additionally, the tournament will feature 32 teams for the first time, with eight teams qualifying for the competition for the first time.
