FIFA has unveiled the Official Slogan and Emblem of the Women’s World Cup France 2019.
Light and illumination are themes key to the identity of the tournament and are captured within the slogan ‘Dare To Shine’. The phrase reflects the changing nature of football and the evolution of the women’s game.
The tournament will take place from 7 June to July 2019 with venues in Grenoble, Le Havre, Lyon, Montpellier, Nice, Paris, Reims, Rennes and Valenciennes all set to play host to fixtures.
Speaking at the launch event the FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, said: “Women’s football has entered a bright new era and we are very much looking forward to seeing a sensational FIFA Women’s World Cup take place in France in 2019.
“The Official Slogan and Official Emblem of the competition are a perfect mix of history, style and innovation, which France is famous for, and I am certain that the commitment and dedication of the LOC and host cities around the country will make this tournament unique.”

FFF President, Noël Le Graët, added: “In less than two years’ time, France will, for the first time in its history, host the FIFA Women’s World Cup. We are proud and honoured to be doing so, as it reflects our firm commitment to nurture women’s football and its development, a goal that the French Football Association has been pursuing through the National Plan for the Promotion of Women’s Football, which it launched six years ago.
“This, the eighth FIFA Women’s World Cup, will be a landmark occasion. Its success as a sporting event that captures the public imagination hinges on support from a number of stakeholders: our cities, regions, leagues, districts, amateur clubs and professional clubs and the people of France.
“The next FIFA Women’s World Cup will provide a springboard for France’s women’s team. Our Bleues must Dare to Shine, which I am sure they will. Make no mistake; we will be doing all we can.”
