Fans are invited to celebrate the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ at Fan Zones located in all six official Host Cities: Vancouver, British Columbia; Edmonton, Alberta; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Ottawa, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; and Moncton, New Brunswick. Ranging from in-stadium opportunities for ticket-holders to free off-site events, the Fan Zones offer activities for all ages including live entertainment, interactive displays, activations by FIFA Partners and National Supporters as well as screenings of selected matches and appearances by the official FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ mascot Shuéme.

“Fan Zones are an opportunity for fans to celebrate women’s soccer, cheer on their favourite teams, and experience the unique environment that can only be provided by a significant international event such as the FIFA Women’s World Cup,” says Peter Montopoli, Chief Executive Officer of the National Organizing Committee for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™. “Hosting an international competition from coast to coast is a first for Canada, and we hope fans will enjoy themselves and take advantage of the activities planned at our free events as well as those in the stadiums during match days.”
