FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 Google Doodle: Let the games begin!

The finals will take place on July 7 in the city on Lyon. America, the defending champions, open their World Cup campaign next Wednesday in a bid to take home their fourth title. The four teams making their debut this year are Chila, Scotland, South Africa and Jamaica — the first ever Caribbean team to qualify. In the league, the top two teams in each of the six qualifying groups will advance to the knockout stages, where they will be joined by the four best third-placed teams. Friday's doodle is a part of a series that will be published over the next month. Each illustration will capture the 'local excitement of the competition', Google said. The official mascot of the tournament is Ettie, the French poussin. The prize money for the tournament this year is $30 million, of which $4 million is awarded to the champions. While FIFA has doubled the prize money since the 2015 World Cup in Canada, it remains a fraction of the $400 million that was awarded during the 2018 Men's World Cup. The prize money for the 2022 men's World Cup in Qatar will be $440 million, according to AP.
