TFA blurb review
The 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup was the third edition of the world championship for national teams in women's association football. Hosted by the United States, it took place from 19 June to 10 July 1999 at eight venues across the country. The 1999 edition was the first to field sixteen teams, an increase from the twelve in 1995, and featured an all-female roster of referees and match officials. It was played primarily in large American football venues due to expected demand following the successful 1996 Olympics women's tournament. The average attendance was 37,319 spectators per match and the total attendance was 1.194 million, a record that stood until 2015. The final, played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, was attended by 90,185 people, setting an international record for spectators at a women's sporting event. The United States won the tournament by defeating China in a penalty shootout after a scoreless draw.

Just a suggested blurb ... thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 23:30, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
