Germany to host 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup

October 30, 2007

Germany beat out Canada to be selected as host the 2011 edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup.

Germany's bid was based on 11 reasons why they should host the FIFA Women's World Cup along with a video Birgit Prinz and Fatmire Bajramaj. Canada's bid was based on its successful staging of the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Germany has won the last two FIFA Women's World Cup and never gave up a goal in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup.
