The FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 will be held in China from September 10–September 30, 2007.[1] Originally, China was to host the 2003 Women's World Cup, but the outbreak of SARS in that country forced that event to be moved to the United States. FIFA immediately granted the 2007 event to China, which means that no new host nation will be chosen competitively until voting is held for the 2011 Women's World Cup.
The tournament opened with a record-breaking match in Shanghai, as Germany beat Argentina 11–0 to register the biggest win and the highest scoring match in Women's World Cup history.

[edit] Qualification
16 nations will participate in the Women's World Cup finals. As the host, China automatically qualified, having saved its automatic entry in 2003. The remaining fifteen berths were divided as follows, with at least one going to each of the six FIFA confederations: five to Europe, 2.5 to Asia (plus hosts China), two to Africa, two to South America, 2.5 to North America, Central America and the Caribbean and one to Oceania. The half spot indicates that the 16th qualifier was determined through a play-off between the third placed teams from Asia (Japan) and CONCACAF (Mexico), with the Japanese team coming out victorious.

- Runners-up: 800,000

[edit] Other rewards
UEFA is using the FIFA Women's World Cup as its qualifying tournament for the 2008 Olympic women's tournament. The best three performing UEFA teams will qualify for the Olympics. Originally it was thought that, should England make the top three European teams, they would compete under the United Kingdom banner. However, on 6 September 2007, FIFA issued a press release indicating that England are ineligible to participate in the 2008 Olympics as England does not have its own Olympic Committee. [1]
For the determination of the ranking only first through fourth place, quarterfinal elimation or group phase elimation count. If there is a need to make a distinction between teams eliminated in the quarterfinal or between teams eliminated in the group phase these teams will meet in a play-off match. In no case will the points or goals (difference) count for teams eliminated before the semi-final.
Germany and Norway have qualified for the Olympics whereas Denmark and Sweden will play a play-off for the third Olympics spot.
[edit] Draw
The group draw took place on 22 April 2007 in Wuhan after the completion of the qualifying rounds.
FIFA automatically seeded the host and defending champions, slotting China and Germany into Group D and Group A, respectively. [3] The FIFA Women's World Ranking for March 2007 was used to determine the teams to occupy the other seeded positions, B1 and C1.[4] United States were ranked first, Germany second and Norway third[5], so the United States and Norway were also seeded.
Also, no two teams from the same confederation could draw each other, except for those from UEFA, where a maximum of two teams from UEFA could be drawn into the same group. Group B quickly became dubbed the group of death [6] since three of the top five teams in the world were drawn in this group — the USA (1st), Sweden (3rd) and Korea DPR (5th), according to the June 2007 FIFA Women's World Rankings, the last to be released before the tournament. The same four teams were drawn together in Group A in the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup[6], on that occasion the USA and Sweden progressed to the knockout stages.
