Football Federation Australia chief executive James Johnson believes a successful Olympic qualifying tournament can provide a tremendous boost to the trans-Tasman push to host the 2023 Women's World Cup.

Australia and New Zealand have submitted a joint bid to FIFA for the next edition of the tournament, with officials from Zurich due for an inspection visit of proposed host cities and venues between February 17-22.

That will be barely a week after the Olympic qualifiers have wrapped up in Sydney, which will host three double-headers next week after the tournament was moved from China over concerns about the coronavirus outbreak.

Johnson is confident a strong and successful delivery of the matches on Monday, Thursday and Sunday in front of big crowds will underline Australia's already proven ability to stage major events to decision-makers at FIFA, as well as showcase the public appetite for women's football.
