OTTAWA -- CONCACAF’s four representatives at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup discovered their group stage opposition during the Final Draw on Saturday at the Canadian Museum of History. 

Under the direction of FIFA Secretary General Jérôme Valcke, and Tatjana Haenni, FIFA Deputy Director of the Competitions Division and Head of Women’s Football, the 24-team field was divided into six groups. 

Host Canada was placed directly into Group A and will play China PR on opening day -- June 6 -- in Edmonton.  New Zealand and the Netherlands round out the quartet. 

The CONCACAF champion United States joins Australia, Sweden and Nigeria, in Group D, which quickly acquired the “Group of Death” moniker. 

In Group E, debutant Costa Rica will take on Brazil, Korea Republic and Spain. 

Mexico will be making its third appearance in the tournament and will face Group F rivals France, England and Colombia, which it beat 2-0 in the final of last month’s Central American & Caribbean Games. 

The competition will take place June 6-July 5, 2015, in six cities across Canada: Ottawa, Moncton, Montreal, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver.  

Complete draw results: 

Group A: Canada, China, New Zealand, Netherlands 

Group B: Germany, Ivory Coast, Norway, Thailand 

Group C: Japan, Switzerland, Cameroon, Ecuador 

Group D: United States, Australia, Sweden, Nigeria 

Group E: Brazil, South Korea, Spain, Costa Rica
