Australia and New Zealand: The perfect sporting hosts?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

As the countries prepare to host the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup for the first time, we find out why they were chosen, and what the legacy of the games will be for them. We take a look at the hospitality sector, including a café owner in New Zealand, who are hoping for a big boost from overseas visitors. How will they make the most of the opportunity, and cope with the influx of people coming into the town. And we hear from an architect about the new training ground that the Australian women's football team, The Matilda's, will call home.
