New Zealand sports fans are expected to place a significant amount of bets on the FIFA Women’s World Cup, which is set to take place on home turf this summer. Online casino directory NZCasinoClub.com predicts that the event, which will be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand in July and August, will see a record-breaking number of bets being placed.
A spokesman for NZCasinoClub.com has attributed this to the growing popularity of women’s football and the fact that the US women’s team is facing genuine competition for the coveted FIFA 2023 Women’s World Cup winner status. The spokesman added that the Kiwis love to place bets on good competitions, and the fact that the event is being held on home territory is expected to generate a significant amount of interest.
Although the US team remains the favourite with odds at +275, England’s Lionesses, who won the European Championship against Germany last year, are seen as close contenders at +350. Many are predicting that England could even topple the USWNT (United States Women’s National Team). Germany, Spain and France are also seen as strong contenders for the title.
The spokesman noted that this year’s competition is more open than ever before, and with global interest in women’s football at an all-time high, a bumper couple of months of online betting is predicted in New Zealand and around the world. While the men’s FIFA World Cup generated NZD $57 billion in bets worldwide last year, the spokesman does not expect the women’s event to hit those levels. However, the excitement around this year’s competition is expected to drive bets way beyond anything seen before in women’s football.
The FIFA Women’s World Cup will feature 32 countries in eight different groups, the first time so many teams have been involved. Hosts Australia, Netherlands, Canada, Brazil and Sweden are also among the top 10 odds for the tournament.
The opening games of the tournament will take place on 20th July in both New Zealand and Australia. New Zealand will play Norway at Eden Park, while Australia will take on Ireland at Stadium Australia in Sydney. The final will be held on 20th August at Stadium Australia, with games also taking place in Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Adelaide in Australia, and in Wellington, Dunedin and Hamilton in New Zealand.
