The '''FIFA Women's World Cup 2007''' was held in [[People's Republic of China|China]] from [[September 10]]–[[September 30]] [[2007]].<ref>[http://www.china.org.cn/english/sports/162732.htm Emblem for World Cup 2007 Launched], from china.org.cn, retrieved [[7 July]] [[2006]]</ref> Originally, China was to host the [[2003 FIFA Women's World Cup|2003 Women's World Cup]], but the outbreak of [[SARS]] in that country forced that event to be moved to the [[United States]]. [[FIFA]] immediately granted the 2007 event to China, which means that no new host nation was chosen competitively until the voting was held for the [[2011 FIFA Women's World Cup|2011 Women's World Cup]].
The tournament opened with a record-breaking match in [[Shanghai]], as [[Germany women's national football team|Germany]] beat [[Argentina women's national football team|Argentina]] 11–0 to register the biggest win and the highest scoring match in [[FIFA Women's World Cup|Women's World Cup]] history. The tournament ended with Germany defeating [[Brazil women's national football team|Brazil]] 2–0 in the final, having never surrendered a goal in the entire tournament. The Germans became the first national team in [[FIFA Women's World Cup]] history to obtain two consecutive titles.

==Other rewards==
[[UEFA]] is using the FIFA Women's World Cup as its qualifying tournament for the [[Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics|2008 Olympic women's tournament]]. The best three performing UEFA teams will qualify for the Olympics. Originally it was thought that, should [[England women's national football team|England]] make the top three European teams, they would compete under the [[United Kingdom national football team|United Kingdom]] banner. However, on [[6 September]] [[2007]], FIFA issued a press release indicating that England are ineligible to participate in the 2008 Olympics as England does not have its own Olympic Committee.<ref name="no olympic team">{{Cite web|url=http://www.fifa.com/womenworldcup/organisation/media/newsid=589029.html#three+european+teams+will+book+their+spot+beijing+2008|title=Three European teams will book their spot to Beijing 2008|accessdate=2007-10-03|publisher=[[FIFA]]|work=FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007|date=[[2007-09-06]]}}</ref>
For the determination of the ranking only first through fourth place, quarterfinal elimination or group phase elimination count. If there is a need to make a distinction between teams eliminated in the quarterfinal or between teams eliminated in the group phase these teams will meet in a play-off match. In no case will the points or goals (difference) count for teams eliminated before the semi-final.
Germany and Norway qualified for the Olympics at the World Cup, whereas Denmark and Sweden had to enter a play-off for the third Olympics spot. Sweden won both legs of the playoffs with a total of 7-3 agg. to qualify for the Olympics.
==Draw==
The group draw took place on [[22 April]] 2007 in [[Wuhan]] after the completion of the qualifying rounds.
FIFA automatically seeded the host and defending champions, slotting [[China women's national football team|China]] and [[Germany women's national football team|Germany]] into Group D and Group A, respectively. <ref name="one">[http://www.fifa.com/womenworldcup/organisation/media/newsid=106741.html FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007 on target]. Retrieved on [[September 16]], [[2007]].</ref> The FIFA Women's World Ranking for March 2007 was used to determine the teams to occupy the other seeded positions, B1 and C1.<ref>[http://www.fifa.com/womenworldcup/organisation/media/newsid=111057.html FIFA Women's World Cup China 2007 on target]. Retrieved on [[September 16]] [[2007]].</ref> [[United States women's national soccer team|United States]] were ranked first, Germany second and [[Norway women's national football team|Norway]] third<ref>[http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/ranking/lastranking/gender=f/fullranking.html#confederation=0&rank=517 FIFA Women's World Ranking March 2007] Retrieved on [[September 16]] [[2007]].</ref>, so the United States and Norway were also seeded.
Also, no two teams from the same confederation could draw each other, except for those from UEFA, where a maximum of two teams from UEFA could be drawn into the same group. Group B quickly became dubbed the [[group of death]] <ref name="espn">[http://soccernet.espn.go.com/print?id=424508&type=story U.S. women face Group of Death scenario again]</ref> since three of the top five teams in the world were drawn in this group — the USA (1st), Sweden (3rd) and {{wnft|Korea DPR}} (5th), according to the June 2007 [[FIFA Women's World Rankings]], the last to be released before the tournament. The same four teams were drawn together in Group A in the [[2003 FIFA Women's World Cup]]<ref name="espn" />, on that occasion the USA and Sweden progressed to the knockout stages.
