Canada named host of 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Zimbabwe was Canada’s lone opposition, so when it withdrew from the race (it’s a bit shame), Canada was virtually assured of staging the competition. FIFA, soccer’s world governing body, on Thursday officially (as no choice) named Canada as the host nation of the 2015 Women’s World Cup, rubber-stamping its bid after Zimbabwe pulled out of the running earlier in the week.

Seven cities were involved in Canada’s bid for the 2015 World Cup: Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Montreal, Ottawa, Moncton, N.B., and Halifax. Six cities host games at the tournament, so one city will have to be eliminated from the mix.Toronto was not part of the bid because it will host the 2015 Pan American Games.

Thursday’s announcement was the latest good news to befall Canadian soccer.

Last week, the men’s Under-17 team reached the final of the CONCACAF championship, earning a spot at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico this summer. It marked the first time the Canadians qualified for the World Cup in 16 years.
