WLS: Can you describe the moment when you were asked to work as Chair for the Next Women's World cup? I felt very honoured by the DFB's decision to entrust this pivotal position as president of the FIFA Women’s World Cup Organising Committee to me. The great support I received from the very first minute from the president of the German FA, Dr. Theo Zwanziger, made me feel confident. Besides, we have excellent people working at the OC, which makes things easier. WLS: How are the plans coming? (More)

Canada put up a brave effort today, but ultimately could not climb the
wall that the Germans put up at New Zealand 2008. Canada lost 1:3 to
Germany in the quarter-final stage in Wellington, New Zealand, thus
making an exit from the inaugural FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.
Dzsenifer Marozsan scored twice for Germany while Lynn Mester scored
once. Nkem Ezurike scored Canada's lone goal, her second in four
matches.
Germany advances to the semi-final stage to be played 13 November
against either USA or Korea Republic. The match will be played at QEII

decided on 9 November at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton.
In the other quarter-final match on 8 November, Korea DPR won 4:0 over
Denmark. Myong Hwa Jon scored two goals before Un Ae Ri and Un Ju Kim
added singles. Korea DPR will face either England or Japan in a 13
November semi-final. The England-Japan quarter-final match precedes the
USA-Korea Republic match on 9 November at Waikato Stadium.
The FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup New Zealand 2008 featured 16 teams,

With a 1:1 draw against Colombia in its second match, Canada remains in
first place in Group A at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup New Zealand
2008. Canada’s Nkem Ezurike scored in the ninth minute before
Colombia’s Ingrid Vidal equalised just a minute later.
'We have to see the result as a point gained rather than two dropped,'
said Canada’s assistant coach Lewis Page. 'It leaves us in a decent
position and although you’re never too confident, we’d probably have
taken four points from our first two games if you’d offered us that
before the tournament.'
Canada is in first place with four points after two matches (one win,
one draw, no losses). Denmark is second (1-1-0, four points) followed
by Colombia (0-2-0, two points) and New Zealand (0-0-2, no points).
Denmark won 2:1 over New Zealand on 1 November.
Should Canada advance to the quarter-final stage, it will meet one of
the top-two teams from Group B. The quarter-final match is scheduled
for 8 November in Wellington. In Christchurch today, European champion
Germany (2-0-0) remains in first place after a 3:2 win over Ghana
(0-1-1). DPR Korea (1-1-0) is in second place after a 2:1 win over
Costa Rica (0-0-2).
Canada’s third and final group match is 4 November against Denmark. The
match will be streamed live on CBCSports.ca. In Canada, the kickoff is
02.00 ET on 4 November or 23.00 PT on 3 November.
The FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup New Zealand 2008 features 16 teams

With
its opening match out of the way, Canada has begun preparations for its
next opponent Colombia at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup New Zealand
2008. The two sides will meet in the afternoon of Saturday 1 November,
which back home in Canada translates to 17.00 PT or 20.00 ET on Friday
31 October. The match will be streamed live on CBCSports.ca.
Canada is currently in first place in Group A with three points. Canada
won its first match 1:0 over host New Zealand on 28 October, doing so
after opening ceremonies and in front of 13,123 fans at North Harbour
Stadium in Auckland. It was Rachel Lamarre that scored the first-ever
goal in FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup history.
'The players felt the pressure of the (first) match,' said coach Bryan
Rosenfeld. 'I am very proud of them coming out with three important
points.'
Trailing Canada with one point apiece is Colombia and Denmark, the two
sides that concluded with a 1:1 draw on 29 October. Colombia’s Tatiana
Ariza scored in the 20th minute and Denmark’s Simone Boye equalized in
the 51st minute.
The group phase for Group A runs 28 October to 4 November. Matches on 1
November are Canada vs. Colombia and New Zealand vs. Denmark. After 4
November, only the top-two teams in the group will advance to the
quarter-final stage.
In the quarter-final stage, Group A’s first-place team will play Group
B’s second-place team while Group A’s second-place team will play Group
B’s first-place team. These two matches will take place 8 November in
Wellington. Group B features Germany (three points after today), Korea
DPR (one point), Ghana (one point), and Costa Rica (no points).
Winners from the quarter-final stage advance to the 13 November
semi-final in Christchurch and winners from the semi-final stage
advance to the 16 November final in Auckland.
