SYDNEY, July 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Destination New South Wales (NSW) and Sydney city has marked one year to go until the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023™ kicks off in Australia & New Zealand, launching the vibrant FIFA Women’s World Cup Unity Pitch on Sydney Harbour at Barangaroo and lighting up the world-famous Sydney Harbour Bridge in celebration.

To officially start the countdown, FIFA’s Secretary General, Fatma Samoura, unveiled the vibrant and unique multicoloured Unity Pitch to represent the diverse people and cultures brought together on Gadigal land by this global sporting event. One Year to Go animations will also be beamed onto the pylons of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge as an open invitation to women’s football fans from all over the world to book their trip to Sydney.

Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade, Minister for Tourism and Sport and Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said Sydney had a celebrated history hosting major international sporting events.

“The countdown is officially on until the largest sporting event to be held on Australian soil since the 2000 Olympics takes place in Sydney. The occasion marks the first time this significant event has been hosted in the Southern Hemisphere, once again demonstrating Sydney is the events capital of the Asia Pacific,” Minister Ayres said.

“Being there as the Matildas run onto the new Sydney Football Stadium in Moore Park for the opening match on 20 July 2023 will be a highlight on the sporting calendar, and we encourage visitors from all over Australia and around the world to make the trip to Sydney for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™.”

FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ COO Australia Jane Fernandez said: “Today is a really exciting and important milestone on the road to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023^™.

“The vision for the tournament is to unite the world through a unique experience and showcase the world’s best players with a world-class event that will see women’s football go Beyond Greatness.”

CommBank Matildas player Ellie Carpenter joined local sports stars, including the first captain of the Matildas Julie Dolan, Rugby Sevens Gold medallist Chloe Dalton, basketballer Shyla Heal, and Football Ferns player Malia Steinmetz, in a friendly futsal match on the harbourside Unity Pitch.

The Unity Pitch will tour all host cities prior to 20 July 2023 before being gifted to the host countries as part of FIFA’s commitment to leaving a lasting legacy in Australia and New Zealand. The tour of the Unity Pitch is a representation of the two vibrant and unique cultures of each nation, celebrating the coming together of 32 participating nations and symbolising football as a unifying and progressive game.

Carpenter, the Matildas’ dynamic defender, was born and raised in Cowra in regional NSW before relocating to Western Sydney at a young age to pursue her football career. Here she shares her top eight insider tips for all football fans to see and do while they are in Sydney and NSW:

1. Climb an icon: See Sydney from a different perspective and feel on top of the world with BridgeClimb Sydney.
2. Immerse in nature: Explore the spectacular Royal Botanic Garden in the heart of the city.
3. Discover local history: Learn about the rich colonial history of The Rocks and experience its transformation into a thriving entertainment precinct with amazing dining, drinking and shopping options.
4. Experience invigorating events: Attend an event at Accor Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park – Ellie has been an ambassador for the venue since she was 16 years old and has very fond memories of her time here.
5. Dine on local produce: With the “best views of the Harbour and city” and “superb food with an Aussie twist” Ellie says no visit to Sydney is complete without dining at Bennelong Sydney. The iconic restaurant is located inside the sails of the Sydney Opera House.
6. Explore like the locals: For a secret Sydney experience, hire a kayak in Manly on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and explore secluded beaches on Sydney Harbour that can only be accessed by the water.
7. Take a luxurious short break: For a “uniquely Australian and breathtakingly peaceful” experience that is only a one-hour drive from the CBD, book a trip to Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley in the Blue Mountains.
8. Take a road trip: Visiting Ellie’s hometown of Cowra? Be sure to take a stroll through the picturesque grounds of Cowra Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre, followed by lunch. If you’re keen for something more active, water sports at the Wyangala Dam will get the heart racing.

Sydney will host 11 FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ matches from Thursday 20 July 2023 to Sunday 20 August 2023, including the opening match and Final. Tickets will go on sale from 6 October at www.fifa.com/beyondgreatness, starting from $20 for adults and $10 for children.

• FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023

DOHA, Qatar, July 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Before the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ kicks off in November an assortment of exceptional new tourism developments will open across the country. From a winter-sun wonderland to a water sports paradise, these developments each add something special to the peninsula’s eclectic mix of attractions and activities to suit every type of traveller.

One year after Qatar re-opened its borders to the world on 12 July 2021, Qatar Tourism reveals the latest attractions that will build on the extensive tourism development strategy of the last few years. Qatar aims to capitalise on the influx of over one million visitors expected for the FIFA World Cup 2022™ and show the world its hidden treasures and unmissable holiday potential.

Chief Operating Officer of Qatar Tourism, Berthold Trenkel, said: “The countdown to the World Cup is well underway and there’s lots of world-class attractions to come before the matches begin. Amongst the buzz around the tournament itself we hope people are wowed by Qatar’s state-of-the-art new tourism developments, significantly boosting the country’s appeal as a leading holiday destination. There are new beaches for those looking for sun, sea and sand, theme parks and water sports hotels for the adventurous, and lots of new resorts, spas and restaurants for visitors seeking a more relaxing getaway.”

Five major upcoming openings

Winter Wonderland

Pack your shades and sun cream for the Doha Winter Wonderland, set to be launched in Qatar later this year on a sandy island. Instead of the icy cold temperatures that greet visitors at the famous sister event in Hyde Park, London, travellers to Doha Winter Wonderland will be able to relax on the beach under delightful average temperatures in the mid 20°Cs.

Doha Winter Wonderland will feature seafront chalets, restaurants, festival games, 50 rides, and cafes, bringing the festive spirit to the Middle East.

Situated near Lusail City just north of Qatar’s capital, the upcoming 200,000 square metre attraction will be operated by IMG (International Marketing Group), the same company that manages Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park each year.

Fuwairit Kite Beach (FKB)

FKB is an upcoming state-of-the-art kite beach resort in Fuwairit. Fuwairit is a coastal village an easy hour drive north of Doha with excellent kitesurfing conditions thanks to consistent winds, ideal ocean water and powder-soft sands.

The resort is designed around the kitesurfer’s lifestyle with everything you need for the water and even more when you are out of it. There will be a yoga studio, fully equipped gym, restaurants, pool and much more.

The Outpost Al Barari

The Outpost will be the first of its kind in Qatar, integrating close-to-nature experiences, sustainability, and luxury hospitality into one beautiful resort in the globally unique Inland Sea nature reserve.

Surrounded by soaring sand dunes and desert wilderness, 21 luxury lodges with private pools will provide the perfect retreat from hectic city life. Stargazing, hot air ballooning, and immersive desert walks where you will learn about the local wildlife will be among the experiences on offer, alongside “Emerge in Nature” spa treatments and sensational culinary experiences.

Qetaifan Island North

Billed as the first “Entertainment Island” in Qatar, Qetaifan Island North will feature floating hotels, beach clubs and a water park with 36 rides – including “The Icon Tower” zone, featuring an 85-metre-high slide set to become the highest of its kind in the world.

Set over 1.3 million square metres, the island is close to the Lusail Stadium, where the final of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ will take place.

West Bay North Beach Project

West Bay North Beach is an extensive new tourism development being constructed, covering 40,000 square metres of a premium beachfront in the heart of Doha. The public and private beach areas will offer three distinct beach experiences with a wide variety of food and beverage offerings, to create a sought-after city beach experience for everyone to enjoy.

The wave of new resorts and attractions adds to a flurry of openings in Qatar over the last couple of years. In March 2022 the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum launched as one world’s most innovate sports museums. In 2021 one of the region’s largest theme parks called Desert Falls Water & Adventure Park opened with 28 slides and rides. And last summer a theme park called Quest Doha was unveiled featuring the world’s tallest indoor rollercoaster.

There will also be lots of exciting events in Qatar after the FIFA World Cup 2022™. The country will host a Qatar Formula 1 Grand Prix for at least a decade from 2023, along with the new Geneva International Motorshow Qatar.
