Julie Ertz admits that there are a lot of fantastic national teams across women's soccer. But there's one team in particular that is a tough opponent for USWNT.With the United States women's national soccer team preparing for a three-peat run at the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, Washington D.C. is making sure the nation's capital cheers the team on every step of the way.
"This event takes place every four years and is a Super Bowl-type sporting event for soccer fans," McDuffie, noting the time difference of 14 and 16 hours between the host countries and Washington."... Local soccer fans are expected to watch the 2023 women's World Cup tournament regardless of the hour."
Establishments wishing to participate in the extended hours must register with the Alcohol Beverage and Cannabis Board and pay a $100 fee. The bill was introduced to the council on June 5 and, the next day, was approved unanimously, with all 13 members voting for the measure to be passed.
