NZ Post is releasing a commemorative stamps to mark the opening of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.
Australia and New Zealand will co-host the ninth FIFA Women’s World Cup – which kicks off on July 20 in Auckland.
Antony says the mint miniature sheet and first day cover feature vibrant artwork created for the tournament in collaboration with Māori and First Nations artists.
“The design and patterns in the stamps reflect the diversity of Australia’s and Aotearoa New Zealand’s cultures and landscapes, and the beautiful game of football.”
The stamps were designed by Wellington’s Chris Jones and have denominations of $3.30 and $4.
They cover postage for a medium and large letter to Australia.
The stamps can be purchased on the Collectables website or at selected Post Shops within New Zealand – with an issue date of July 5, 2023.
“With 32 nations competing in the FIFA Women’s World Cup we expect these stamps to be popular with not only Kiwis but those fans visiting Aotearoa New Zealand for games.”
New Zealand’s women’s team, the Football Ferns, will kick off their home cup campaign when they play Norway in the tournament’s opening game at Eden Park in Auckland on Thursday 20 July.
