Football fans across the west are invited to celebrate the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Wyndham next weekend.

Wyndham council will host a Football Fever Celebration on Saturday, July 22, from 11am-2pm, at Wyndham Park.

The event will feature interactive football activities, lively roving entertainment, free face painting, captivating music, and an array of food trucks offering delicious snacks to indulge in.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet players from the Western United Football Club and participate in free come-and-try sessions hosted by Wyndham’s football clubs.

Additionally, every participant will receive their very own Football Fever Kids Activity Passport to take home.

As part of the event, the USA versus Vietnam match, which is being played in Auckland, will be live streamed, followed by free football gaming on the big screen, where you’ll be able to challenge your friends to a FIFA match.

Wyndham mayor Susan McIntyre invited football fans from across the west to be part of the celebrations.

“Join us as we proudly celebrate Wyndham’s involvement in the World Cup! Galvin Park, serving as a training camp base for the Morocco women’s national football team during this grand tournament,” she said.

“Being part of the largest women’s sporting event is an incredible honour for Wyndham.

“Across the west we are united by our passion for football and invite fans to celebrate the World Cup in Wyndham.”

The FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 will be played across both countries, with 32 nations competing for the title.”
