The 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup to return to U.S. soil!

This Monday, May 26, FIFA President Sepp Blatter announced that the United States will host the 2003 FIFA Women’s World Cup after FIFA chose to move the tournament out of China due to the threat of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The United States was chosen over Sweden, the only other country besides the USA to make a formal bid to host the tournament. RFK Stadium could serve as a possible venue for some of the cup matches.

“This is an historic day for soccer in the United States,” said U.S. Soccer President Dr. S. Robert Contiguglia. “We now have approximately 120 days to do something that no one has ever attempted. Staging an event of this stature and size in this short amount of time will be a great challenge, but we will succeed because of the support and organizational abilities of the entire U.S. Soccer family.”

Interested in volunteering with the 2003 FIFA Women's World Cup? Volunteers will be coordinated through the U.S. Soccer Human Resources Department. To let U.S. Soccer know you're interested, please send a message to hr@ussoccer.org including your name, mailing address, phone number, fax number, e-mail address, any previous event history and your resume.

Washington looking for third straight 2003 win against New York in Saturday’s exhibition match in Rochester, N.Y.

After the Freedom’s 4-0 blowout over the Power this past weekend, New York (3-5-0) eagerly awaits Saturday’s exhibition rematch in hopes of avenging both 2003 losses to the Freedom and thwarting Washington’s (5-1-1) attempts for a third win against the Power this season.

The two teams will face off at 12 p.m. at Frontier Field in Rochester, NY, hometown of Freedom players Abby Wambach and Casey Zimny. Both Rochester natives had significant impacts in last week’s win, as Wambach recorded 3 assists while Zimny scored the first goal of her WUSA career.
