Overview

One of the world's largest sporting events is coming to Sydney: FIFA Women's World Cup 2023™. Get ready to immerse yourself in a month-long celebration of football, food, music and entertainment at the highly anticipated FIFA Fan Festival™  held in the heart of Sydney's iconic Darling Harbour at Tumbalong Park from July 20 to August 20. Bonus: it's free to get in.

Watch each match live on the giant screens and show off your own footy skills with your mates at the FIFA Fan Festival™ playground. There is a penalty practice, football minigolf, football snooker and even a shooting speedometer so you can find out who has the most powerful shot. Want to really put your skills to the test? Challenge your mates and other footy fans to a full-fledged match game on the festival's pop-up pitch — pitch is closed while the matches are streamed so make sure you check the schedule before you challenge your mates to a match.

Just steps away from the giant screens, the FIFA Store awaits, with a treasure trove of jerseys and official merch. Don't forget to grab a ball and test it out on the festival pitch, to channel your inner football star.

Delve into the rich heritage of the FIFA Women's World Cup™ at the on-site FIFA Museum. Explore the journey of this premier women's sporting event through captivating films, interactive displays and historic artifacts. Dive deep into team profiles, gaining insights into your favourite players and their rivals. Show off your creativity in the jersey colouring-in competition, and check out the trophy itself in the museum's display room.

It isn't just celebrating football excellence here. There will be a whole host of musicians, singers and DJs performing throughout the month, including Jessica Mauboy, Jack River, Little Green and many more.

Stay fuelled with an excellent culinary lineup, including acclaimed chef Josh Niland slinging his signature tuna cheeseburger. Beyond that, there's an array of street eats, like dumplings, pizza, gozleme and even classic Aussie barbecue, available. A range of Aussie wines and beers will be served from the two festival bars, as will mulled wine.
