There were no surprises on Friday, as the Canadian Soccer Association confirmed what followers of the story had known for months: The six cities that will host games during the 2015 Women's World Cup will be Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal and Moncton.
Seven cities had originally submitted bids, with six spots up for grabs, but Halifax withdrew last month when an agreement to build a stadium could not be reached. Toronto was not in the running due to its prior commitments to the Pan American Games during the summer of 2015.

The big questions now become: Which cities will host which groups? Which cities will get to see Canada play live? And, where will the final be hosted? (Check back soon for our predictions on that last question.)
