The tournament starts on July 20 next year, with New Zealand playing the opening game, also in Auckland.
“Preparations are well under way in Australia and New Zealand to welcome the world’s largest women’s single-sport event,” said Fatma Samoura, Fifa’s secretary-general.
“The official draw in October marks an important milestone for teams and fans in the countdown.”
