14 July 2023 – Sydney/Auckland, AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND: Coca‑Cola has announced its FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ campaign under the theme of “Believing is Magic”. The campaign builds on the long-standing partnership between Coca‑Cola and FIFA and aims to uplift and refresh the shared experience of the FIFA World Cup™, creating excitement for football fans around the world.

The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™ takes place in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20. For the first time ever, two nations will host the tournament, emphasising the power of believing in magic. 

FIFA Women’s World Cup™ is the biggest female sporting event in the world, and the momentum around women’s sports has never been stronger.  The 2023 tournament is on track to be the biggest and best sporting event of the year with 32 teams set to compete for the delight of two billion people following the tournament around the world. 

Coca‑Cola, a proud supporter of every FIFA Women's World Cup™ since the inaugural tournament in 1991, invites fans to experience the magic as players chase their dreams on the global stage. The partnership between Coca‑Cola and FIFA Women's World Cup™ embodies the optimism, inclusion, equality, and progress that drives the world of sports and inspires us all.

To celebrate this historic event, Coca‑Cola presents a series of consumer experiences:

 

  • The Hero Film: Coca‑Cola's new TVC is set to air in New Zealand from 19 July and Australia from 20 July and is now available on YouTube.
