The 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup

The eighth edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup will be held in France from 7 June to 7 July.  Women's football is becoming higher and higher profile, and with the tournament taking place in France, it's a great opportunity to work on women's sport with your pupils. The worksheet provides activities based on A1+ to A2 levels, depending on the level of speaking you want pupils to produce.
