Australia to bid for women's World Cup as part of grand plan


MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia will bid for the women's soccer World Cup in 2023 as part of a 20-year vision to boost the sport in a country dominated by rival football codes.

Australia hosted and won the men's Asian Cup in January, restoring some pride to the local game after the country's costly bid for the men's 2022 World Cup failed dismally and drew fierce criticism from home media.
