This year's event is being co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand
'We are so excited and extremely proud to announce we will be releasing two commemorative stamps to celebrate one of the biggest sporting tournaments to ever come down under,' said NZ Post’s Head of Collectables Antony Harris.
The mint miniature sheet and first day cover stamps feature vibrant artwork created for the tournament in collaboration with Māori and First Nations artists.
'The design and patterns in the stamps reflect the diversity of Australia’s and Aotearoa New Zealand’s cultures and landscapes, and the beautiful game of football,' said Harris. 'With 32 nations competing in the FIFA Women's World Cup we expect these stamps to be popular with not only Kiwis but those fans visiting Aotearoa New Zealand for games.'
The stamps were designed by Wellington’s Chris Jones and have denominations of $3.30 and $4.00. They cover postage for a medium and large letter to Australia.
