This week's inspection is a crucial stage of the bidding process with FIFA suggesting the quality of facilities will form 70 per-cent of the evaluation of each bid.

A FIFA delegation has almost completed its inspection of the Australian facilities for the 2023 Women's World Cup bid but Football Federation Australia won't know whether they impressed officials until May.

A team from FIFA's competitions committee travelled to Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to view some of the match stadiums, training venues, broadcast sites, and accommodation options in Australia before travelling to New Zealand at the end of this week to complete their inspection of the trans-Tasman bid.

The quality of stadia accounts for 35 per cent of the total evaluation of a bid with team and referee facilities - such as training sites - forming a total of 15 per cent of the bid. Accommodation forms 10 per cent of the evaluation while broadcast and other event sites also counts for 10 per cent. Commercial performance forecasts will account for 30 per cent of the evaluation.

FIFA's technical committee will evaluate each of the four bids to host the 2023 Women's World Cup, releasing their evaluation to FIFA's council in May. In June, 33 members of FIFA's 37-person council will vote on the winning bid, with the members from New Zealand, Brazil, Colombia and Japan ineligible to vote.
