Abstract
This chapter begins by discussing the background of events leading up to the Women’s World Cup in Canada, and moves on to look at the experience of fans who travelled to watch matches during the tournament. It is based on my material gathered before and during the tournament, and begins by looking at quantitative and qualitative data gathered through an online questionnaire, examining the reasons people decided to attend the Women’s World Cup in person, and also the reasons some chose not to. It explores the attendees’ overall feelings about the tournament and their experiences in Canada.
