Canada and the host USA will carry the CONCACAF banner at the 2003
FIFA Womens World Cup from 20 September 12 October in six venues
around the United States.
The six USA venues for the 16-team tournament are: Crew Stadium in
Columbus, Ohio; Home Depot Center in Carson, California; Lincoln
Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Washington, D.C.s RFK
Stadium; Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts; PGE Park in Portland, Oregon.
Both CONCACAF teams have womens championship coaching experience under their
belts. The defending world champions, USA have technical director April Heinrichs, who
played on the 1991 squad that captured the first womens title in China, while Canadas
technical director Even Pellerud, was at the helm for his native Norway as they won the
1995 FIFA crown in Sweden.
Placed in Group A for the 2003 World Cup, USA will open on 21 September in
Washington, D.C. against Sweden. Four days later, the team faces Nigeria in Philadelphia,
and then end group play against Korea DPR on 28 September in Columbus.
Canada kicks off Group C with two consecutive first round games in Columbus as they
meet Germany on 20 September and then Argentina four days later. Canada concludes
first round action with an encounter against Japan in Foxboro on 27 September.
The top two from each of the four groups will advance to the Quarterfinals on 1-2
October in Foxboro and Portland. The quarterfinal winners will meet in the semifinals set
for Portland on 5 October. The semifinal losers will face off in the third-place match on 11
October in Carson, while the semifinal winners will square off for the 2003 Womens
World Cup title the next day at the same venue.
