Spain will kick off the 2022 Women’s World Cup with an evening clash against Canada at the Olympic Stadium in Terrassa.
The co-hosts will push back on July 1 before matches in Amsterdam, Netherlands – co-hosting the tournament – start on July 2, with New Zealand playing China.
The Dutch, the defending champions, start their bid against Ireland on the same day against Ireland in a repeat of the 2018 World Cup final in London.
