澳洲新闻 (ABC新闻快递) 澳大利亚和新西兰将联合举办2023年女足世界杯

Trans-Tasman celebrations are well underway this morning, after Australia and New Zealand won their joint¹ bid to host the 2023 Women's World Cup. Cheers erupted when the organising committee heard the news via a live stream from FIFA in Zurich at 2 am. Across the country people stayed up to watch, and Sydney's Opera House was even lit up in support of the Australian bid. The joint bid beat out Colombia for the hosting rights, after Brazil and Japan withdrew from the race in recent days. It will be a huge boost for the game locally — last year's Women's World Cup was watched by a global audience of more than a billion people.

在澳大利亚和新西兰赢得2023年女足世界杯联合举办权后，跨塔斯曼的庆祝活动于今天上午顺利进行。凌晨2点，当组委会通过国际足联在苏黎世进行的视频直播得知这一消息时，欢呼声瞬间爆发。澳大利亚全国各地的人们都在熬夜收看这场直播，悉尼歌剧院甚至亮灯支持澳大利亚的申办。巴西和日本于最近退出申办，澳大利亚和新西兰击败哥伦比亚获得联合举办权。这将对本土比赛起到巨大的推动作用，去年的女足世界杯吸引了全球超过10观众观看。
