Soccer: Moncton bids on 2015 Women's World Cup games

Moncton in New Brunswick Canada will vie to become one of six host cities as Canada bids to host FIFA's Women's World Cup in 2015.


Moncton council voted on Monday night to become one of the Canadian host cities for the 2015 Women's World Cup, but not all councillors agree with the decision. Mayor George LeBlanc said the city had events, such as the international soccer tournament, in mind when the stadium was constructed.

"We have a fantastic facility here in Moncton, and this is an opportunity and I think it would be a shame to miss it," LeBlanc said.
