New Zealand's women's Rugby, Football and Cricket icons have come together as the country prepares to host three major World Cups in 2021-22
For New Zealand preparing to host three major World Cups it바카라s hard to think of a more fitting image to mark UN International Women바카라s Day than Kendra Cocksedge (rugby), Katie Bowen (football) and Sophie Devine (cricket) standing shoulder-to-shoulder atop Eden Park바카라s towering stadium roof on Monday.

Bowen, a 59-cap football player, Cocksedge, rugby vice-captain, and Devine, the power-hitting skipper of the women바카라s cricket team, came together in Auckland to promote a remarkable period for female athletes.
As well as the ICC Women바카라s Cricket World Cup (March-April 2022), FIFA Women바카라s World Cup (July-August 2023), and Rugby World Cup 2021, New Zealand will also host 8th IWG World Conference on Women and Sport in May 2022.
Bowen attended the event before heading to the United States to link with her club Kansas City ahead of the 2021 National Women바카라s Soccer League (NWSL) season in the United States.
바카라It바카라s going to be massive for the nation. I think that it바카라s going to really help the development of the youth, and we hope to inspire not only young females but also young boys,바카라 she said.
Bowen and his team will be out to make history in 2023 when the eyes of the world will be on New Zealand and co-hosts Australia as they stage the 32-nation global sporting spectacular.
Women바카라s cricket team captain Sophie Devine has been in the thick of the sporting action in recent weeks, with her side taking on England in an ODI, the visitors triumphant 2-1 and T20I series that concluded yesterday.
Devine, who conquered her fear of heights to join Bowen and Cocksedge atop of Eden Park, said: It바카라s unbelievable to be a female athlete at this time.
바카라To have three women바카라s world cups here in New Zealand over the next three years is just awesome so please get along and support these fantastic athletes,바카라 Devine said.
The Women바카라s cricket team will next take on Australia in a T20 series beginning March 28. Both England and Australia will return to New Zealand shores in 2022, having already booked their spots at the eight-nation Cricket World Cup.
It was announced last week that Rugby World Cup 2021 would likely be postponed to the end of 2022, and while the delay was disappointing for women바카라s team but veteran Cocksedge, the anticipation still remains.
바카라I바카라m still highly motivated that there is a World Cup on home turf and at the end of the day borders will hopefully be open and we will be able to get lots of support from family and friends and people outside of the country as well,바카라 she said.
