The 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup will be the seventh FIFA Women's World Cup, the quadrennial international women's football world championship tournament. In March 2011, Canada won the right to host the event. The tournament will be held from 6 June to 5 July.[1]
The top three teams from UEFA will qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics women's football tournament, to be held in Brazil.[2][3] As England is not an Olympic nation, their team is ineligible for the Olympics. However, on 2 March 2015, the Football Association declared its intention to enter the 2016 Olympics, and to run teams on behalf of the British Olympic Association at the Olympics should England qualify.[4] If this move is sanctioned by the relevant governing bodies and England is one of the top three UEFA teams, the Great Britain women's Olympic football team will play in the 2016 Olympics, with possible participation by players from Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, although the football associations of the other three Home Nations have traditionally been opposed to a British team in the Olympics.[5]
