During the tournament, which will be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand across nine cities, the platforms of Shinai Sports, such as iQIYI sports app, sports channel of iQIYI, iQIYI sports website and QiyiguoTV will live broadcast the full competition.

They will also provide extensive behind-the-scenes, insight and analysis content throughout.

The agreement will see all 64 matches broadcast across the platform in the mainland of China, with exclusive free to air broadcast rights to the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup still available for the region.

The announcement marks the first time Shinai Sports has partnered with a FIFA competition and comes as the women's game continues to grow in China.

Speaking about the agreement, Jean Christophe Petit, FIFA director of media partnerships said: "We are hugely excited by this new partnership with Shinai Sports, which will bring the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 to digital platforms across mainland of China.

"We look forward to working closely with Shinai Sports in the lead up to FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 to promote the tournament and bring women's football to new audiences in the country."

The Chinese team - the Steel Roses - are the current AFC Women's Asian Cup champions and have featured at the FIFA Women's World Cup eight times, earning a silver medal in 1999.

At the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, China will line-up in Group D alongside England, Denmark and one of next month’s playoff winners.
