After purchasing the rights last year, just before the Men’s World Cup in Brazil, FOX has only had a few friendlies and the tournament’s group draw in order to get ready for the largest women’s competition in the world. Fortunately for the network the group heading to Canada has experience with women’s soccer, many have played the game and the rest have either coached or covered the game for FOX or other networks.
