The 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup Final is a future football match to decide the winner of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. It will be the eighth time the final is played for the FIFA Women's World Cup, a tournament for women's teams of the member countries of FIFA. The match will be played at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Décines-Charpieu, France, on 7 July 2019 between the United States, the champions last time, and the Netherlands, in their first final.[6] The United States won 2–0, earning their second consecutive and fourth overall Women's World Cup title, with second-half goals scored by co-captain Megan Rapinoe from the penalty spot and Rose Lavelle.
