A China se le otorgó originalmente el derecho a albergar el torneo, que se habría celebrado del 23 de septiembre al 11 de octubre en cuatro ciudades. Un brote severo de SARS a principios de 2003 afectó a Guangdong en el sur de China y llevó a la FIFA a trasladar la Copa Mundial Femenina a Estados Unidos, que había sido sede de la edición anterior en 1999. En cambio, a China se le otorgaron derechos de sede para la Copa Mundial Femenina de la FIFA 2007 y compensación financiera mientras que la Federación de Fútbol de los Estados Unidos hizo nuevos arreglos para albergar en estadios más pequeños.
Preparativos
Selección y cambio de anfitrión
La FIFA otorgó los derechos de sede de la Copa Mundial Femenina a China el 26 de octubre de 2000, superando una candidatura de Australia. [1] El torneo estaba originalmente planeado para realizarse del 23 de septiembre al 11 de octubre en sedes de Shanghai , Wuhan , Chengdu y Hangzhou . [2] Varios eventos deportivos en China fueron cancelados o pospuestos a principios de abril debido al brote de SARS en el sur de China, incluido el sorteo oficial de la Copa Mundial Femenina, y la FIFA lanzó una investigación conjunta con la Organización Mundial de la Salud sobre si el brote disminuiría en el momento del torneo. [2] Los Estados Unidos, Canadá y Australia se mencionaron como posibles anfitriones de reemplazo en ese momento. [2] [3]
El 3 de mayo de 2003, la FIFA anunció que trasladaría el torneo a un país anfitrión alternativo, lo que se determinaría en una fecha posterior; los Estados Unidos y Australia habían expresado interés en ser anfitriones, mientras que Brasil se presentó como otro anfitrión potencial. [4] La FIFA también anunció que en su lugar otorgaría la Copa Mundial Femenina de la FIFA 2007 y pagaría $ 1 millón al comité organizador para compensar los gastos de planificación. [5] [6] El 26 de mayo de 2003, Estados Unidos fue anunciado como el nuevo anfitrión del torneo, antes de la otra oferta formal presentada por Suecia. [7] Se consideró que Estados Unidos era un anfitrión de emergencia adecuado debido a su experiencia en la organización del torneo de 1999, a pesar de los posibles conflictos en el calendario deportivo de otoño con el fútbol americano y el béisbol . Los impulsores del fútbol femenino en los Estados Unidos también esperaban que el interés generado por el torneo evitaría que la liga profesional en apuros, la Women's United Soccer Association , se retirara; [7] la liga finalmente se retiró unos días antes de que comenzara el torneo en septiembre. [8]
Sedes
Los 32 partidos del torneo se jugaron en seis sedes y se organizaron en 15 partidos dobles, con la excepción de los partidos por el tercer lugar y la final, que se jugaron en días separados. El área de Los Ángeles repitió como sede de la final, que se trasladó del Rose Bowl al Home Depot Center , un estadio más pequeño en Carson, California . [9] Los partidos se programaron en doble jornada y se trasladaron de cuatro sedes en la costa este a dos en la costa oeste a medida que avanzaban hacia jornadas posteriores. [9] El tamaño y el alcance del torneo también se redujeron con respecto a la edición de 1999 debido al tiempo limitado para organizar y preparar el evento. [10]
Principalmente debido a la reprogramación del torneo con poca antelación, la FIFA y la Federación de Fútbol de los Estados Unidos se vieron obligadas a programar partidos de manera creativa. Se programaron nueve partidos dobles en juego grupal (similar al formato de 1999). También tuvieron que abandonar la práctica moderna de programar los partidos finales de la fase de grupos para comenzar simultáneamente. En los Grupos A y D, los partidos finales se programaron como los dos extremos de una doble cartelera. Los partidos finales de los Grupos B y C también se programaron como dobles, pero divididos entre dos ciudades, con un partido del Grupo B en cada ciudad seguido de un partido del Grupo C. Los cuatro cuartos de final también se programaron como dos partidos dobles, y ambas semifinales también fueron un partido doble. [9] [11]
Los estadios anfitriones se anunciaron el 13 de junio de 2003, incluidos tres estadios grandes para inaugurar el torneo y tres estadios pequeños específicos de fútbol para etapas posteriores. [10] Giants Stadium en el área de la ciudad de Nueva York se retiró de la sede después de no poder resolver problemas de programación con los New York Giants . [10] Para el torneo, el recientemente renovado PGE Park de Portland (anteriormente Civic Stadium) recibió una nueva superficie de césped y asientos temporales para ampliar la capacidad a 28,359; anteriormente había albergado varios partidos durante el torneo de 1999. El Estadio Gillette reemplazó al Estadio Foxboro demolido , mientras que el Estadio RFK fue elegido en lugar del Estadio Jack Kent Cooke en el área de Washington, DC . Los lugares también emplearon nuevas medidas de seguridad que fueron requeridas por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos luego de los ataques del 11 de septiembre de 2001. [12]

El sorteo grupal estaba programado originalmente para el 24 de mayo de 2003 en Wuhan , China, pero se pospuso antes de la decisión de reubicación. [2] En cambio, tuvo lugar en el Home Depot Center en Carson, California, el 17 de julio de 2003, e incluyó una ceremonia formal de entrega del trofeo de la Copa Mundial Femenina de la FIFA, que fue entregado a la entrenadora estadounidense April Heinrichs por la entrenadora china Ma Liangxing . [21] [22] La FIFA también dio a conocer su sistema de Clasificación Mundial Femenina , que se utilizó para determinar los grupos cabezas de serie y los puntos calculados retroactivamente para más de 3.000 partidos internacionales que se remontan a 1971. [23]
Estados Unidos se colocó en el Grupo A y China se colocó en el Grupo D, mientras que Noruega y Alemania también fueron sembrados en el Bombo 1. Los tres bombos restantes se distribuyeron geográficamente para evitar que dos equipos de la misma confederación formen parte del mismo grupo. con la excepción de un grupo que tendría dos equipos europeos. [24] El anfitrión Estados Unidos fue incluido en el " Grupo de la muerte " del torneo junto a Suecia, Nigeria y Corea del Norte, todos considerados equipos fuertes de sus respectivas confederaciones. [25]
Fase de grupos
El formato del torneo se mantuvo sin cambios desde la edición de 1999, con la primera ronda que consta de dieciséis equipos organizados en cuatro grupos por el sorteo final. La fase de grupos de todos contra todos consistió en 24 partidos en los que cada equipo jugó un partido contra los otros tres equipos de su grupo. [13] Los equipos recibieron tres puntos por victoria, un punto por empate y ninguno por derrota. [26] En caso de empate a puntos, la posición del grupo sería determinada por varios desempates en el siguiente orden: diferencial de goles ; el número de goles marcados; puntos en partidos jugados entre los equipos empatados; diferencial de goles en partidos jugados entre los equipos empatados; número de goles marcados en partidos jugados entre los equipos empatados; y el sorteo . [27] [28] Los ganadores y subcampeones de cada grupo se clasificaron para la fase eliminatoria, que comenzó con los cuartos de final. [25]

Kristine Lilly lanzó un disparo desde 20 yardas (18 m) en el minuto 28 y fue seguida por un cabezazo de Cindy Parlow para una ventaja de 2-0 en el medio tiempo.

The second matchday's doubleheader, also played in Columbus, ended with 3–0 victories for Germany over Japan and Canada over Argentina.[47] Germany took advantage of their taller players and physicality to shutout Japan, liming them to a handful of chances. Sandra Minnert scored on a rebound from a corner kick in the 23rd minute and was followed by a pair of goals from forward Birgit Prinz in the 36th and 66th minute, both from overturned balls in the midfield.[48] Canada earned its first World Cup victory in its eighth match with a pair of goals scored by Christine Latham, who also won a penalty in the 19th minute that opened the scoring against Argentina.[49] The victory put Canada level on points with Japan for second place in the group, setting up a winner-take-all scenario in their match against each other.[47]

Original hosts and 1999 runners-up China were seeded into Group D, where they would play alongside African runners-up Ghana, Oceania champions Australia, and 1999 quarter-finalist Russia.[16] Australia continued their Women's World Cup winless streak by losing 2–1 to Russia in the opening match, despite taking a 1–0 lead in the 38th minute through a goal from Kelly Golebiowski. Russia tied the match a minute later with an own goal from Dianne Alagich and Elena Fomina scored their second in the 89th minute with a strike from the edge of the penalty area.[52] China, considered the favorites to top the group, won 1–0 in their opener against Ghana with a goal by Sun Wen, who was the top goalscorer in the 1999 World Cup.[53]
Russia secured its quarterfinal berth by defeating Ghana 3–0 in their second match, which took them to first place in the group. They opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a free kick taken by Marina Saenko, which was followed by a pair of close-range shots in the second half from Natalia Barbashina and Olga Letyushova.[54] Group favorites China had unexpectedly conceded to Australia in the first half of their match, with a goal in the 28th minute for midfielder Heather Garriock, that would have snapped a winless World Cup record for the Matildas. A potential equalizer in the first half from Sun Wen was saved off the line by Cheryl Salisbury, but Bai Jie was able to score shortly after halftime to earn a draw for China and prevent an upset victory for Australia.[55]
Australia continued its winless streak in World Cup play after losing 2–1 in its final group stage match against Ghana, who had also been eliminated from advancing to the quarterfinals. Ghanaian striker Alberta Sackey, who had been named Africa's best female footballer, scored twice within five minutes near the end of the first half—once from long range and the other from a rebound on a saved shot.[56] Heather Garriock cut the lead in the 61st minute with her goal and Australia pressed for an equalizer, but were unable to score and finished at the bottom of the group.[57] China qualified for the quarterfinals through Australia's elimination and won 1–0 against Russia to finish atop the group standings.[56] Bai Jie scored the lone goal of the match in the 16th minute, despite China's 18 shots—of which seven were saved by Russian goalkeeper Alla Volkova.[58]

Quarter-finals
The first quarterfinal doubleheader was played at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, with the ordering of the matches swapped to allow a later kickoff for the U.S. match.[59] Sweden took the lead against Brazil in the first match of the night, with a header by Victoria Svensson in the 23rd minute in the run of play. A minute before halftime, Marta drew and scored an equalizing penalty for Brazil after being tripped by goalkeeper Sofia Lundgren, who was starting in place of Caroline Jönsson because of her drug treatment for stomach cramps.[60] Malin Andersson scored the winning goal for Sweden in the 53rd minute from a 24-yard (22 m) free kick as Sweden resisted several chances from Brazil and a controversial uncalled foul in the penalty area during stoppage time to win 2–1.[60][61] The United States played Norway in their quarterfinal match-up, which pitted two of the tournament favorites and ended in a 1–0 victory for the hosts. Abby Wambach scored in the 24th minute from a header off Cat Reddick's free kick from 40 yards (37 m) while also creating other chances to score to no avail.[62] The U.S. failed to extend their lead in the 68th minute, with a penalty kick taken by Mia Hamm that was blocked by goalkeeper Bente Nordby.[63]
The second doubleheader was played between teams from Groups C and D at PGE Park in Portland, Oregon, which would also host the semifinals. Germany advanced to the semifinals with a 7–1 defeat of Russia, who matched Chinese Taipei in conceding the most goals in a Women's World Cup quarterfinal.[64] The Germans led 1–0 at halftime, with a goal by Martina Müller in the 25th minute, but scored three times within a five-minute span to open the second half after breaking down the Russian defense. After conceding a consolation goal to Elena Danilova in the 70th minute, Germany scored three times in the final ten minutes, including a pair from Brigit Prinz and a second for Kerstin Garefrekes, to close out the match.[64][65] Canada then achieved an upset defeat of China in their quarterfinal match, taking an early lead in the seventh minute through a header from Charmaine Hooper and maintaining a shutout to win 1–0 despite several scoring chances for the Chinese.[66]

Semi-finals
Germany advanced to their second Women's World Cup final by defeating the United States 3–0 in a major upset of the defending champions in Portland, only their second loss in a Women's World Cup.[67] Germany took the lead in the 15th minute through a header by Kerstin Garefrekes and held onto the shutout, despite the U.S. switching formations to produce attacking chances that often required saves from goalkeeper Silke Rottenberg.[68] The German defense remained resilient to the long-ball play of the United States, which increased in intensity and frequency during the second half—producing six shots on target.[67] Maren Meinert and Brigit Prinz scored a pair of goals in stoppage time, taking advantage of the vulnerable American defense with their counterattacks.[69]
The second semifinal fixture, between Canada and Sweden, remained scoreless through the end of the first hour of play despite chances created by Canadian fullback–forward Charmaine Hooper.[70] Canada were awarded a free kick from 35 yards (32 m) in the 64th minute, which was shot towards goal by Kara Lang and spun off the hands of Jönsson as she attempted to make the save. Sweden made three substitutions to bring on attacking players and won a free kick in the 79th minute that was quickly taken by Victoria Svensson and passed to Malin Moström, who scored the equalizer.[70] Substitute forward Josefine Öqvist scored the winning goal for Sweden six minutes later, finishing a rebound off a shot by Hanna Ljungberg that was saved by goalkeeper Taryn Swiatek.[71]

Third place play-off
The third-place play-off was played on the day before the final at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California, between the United States and their continental rivals Canada. The U.S. retained its mix of veteran and youth players who played in the semifinals and controlled play for most of the match, taking the lead in the 22nd minute through a long throw-in by Abby Wambach that was volleyed into the goal by Kristine Lilly. Christine Sinclair equalized for Canada within 16 minutes, but the U.S. kept pressing in the second half and re-took the lead in the 51st minute through a header by Shannon Boxx from a corner kick.[72] Tiffeny Milbrett, who was substituted in for Cindy Parlow after she sustained a concussion before halftime, then scored the team's final goal of the tournament in the 80th minute by finishing a rebound off an earlier shot that was blocked at the goal line.[73]

Final
Germany defeated Sweden in the Women's World Cup final to earn their first world championship and become the first country to win both the men's and women's tournament, as well as the first to win with a female manager.[74] In a rematch of the UEFA Women's Euro 2001 final, Sweden took the lead before halftime on a shot by Hanna Ljungberg from 15 yards (14 m). Germany responded with an equalizing goal in the first minute of the second half, with Maren Meinert scoring in the penalty area on a rebound off goalkeeper Caroline Jönsson. The match remained tied after regulation time and was decided by a golden goal scored in the 98th minute by substitute defender Nia Künzer, who headed in a shot from a free kick taken by Renate Lingor.[74]
