"Not only will the FIFA Women's World Cup
Canada 2015 be a fantastic event, but we hope
visitors will be able to experience all of the sights
and sounds that our city has to offer," says Chad
Falk, Winnipeg's venue general manager for the
World Cup.
While all the game action will take place at Investors
Group Field, Sturk-Nadeau says the economic
impact will be felt throughout the city.
"You've got people everywhere from the airport to
the south end of the city to downtown," she says.
"All areas (will benefit), which is different than
when you bring in international conferences and
they're meeting at the convention centre."
Teams from the U.S., Sweden, Nigeria, Australia,
Germany, Thailand, Ecuador, Japan and New
Zealand play seven games from June 8 - 16.
