The FIFA Women’s World Cup is kicking much needed goals for Sydney’s hotels with a spike in bookings as the opening match kicks off at Stadium Australia this week.

 

Incoming NSW tourism boss Stacey McBride said the event, which expects to see more than 80,000 spectators attend the opening match, has already created an uptick in hotel bookings around Western Sydney.

“We are seeing a high number of bookings for accommodation providers located in the vicinity of Olympic Park and hotel capacity right across Sydney is nearing 70 per cent, reflecting a noticeable surge in demand,” said McBride.
 
According to FIFA, more than a million tickets have been sold for matches scheduled across Australia and New Zealand, with the opening match in Sydney being moved from its original site at Sydney Football Stadium to Stadium Australia to allow more spectators to attend.
