The FIFA Women's World Cup China PR 2007 (10-30 September 2007) was at the centre of discussions during the meeting. With less than a year to go until kick-off, Mr Nan Yong, the general secretary of the local organising committee and vice-president of the Football Association of the People's Republic of China, gave a detailed report on the preparations.

A FIFA delegation visited China in late September to view the five venues chosen to host the competition: Shanghai (Hongkou Stadium), Chengdu, Hangzhou, Tianjin and Wuhan. The committee declared itself delighted with the Chinese hosts' efforts, professionalism and enthusiasm.

For the first time in the history of the FIFA Women's World Cup, bonuses (totalling six million US dollars) will be paid to the teams in accordance with the following table:

- Champions: USD 1 million
- Runners-up: USD 800,000
- 3rd place: USD 650,000
- 4th place: USD 550,000
- Quarter-finalists: USD 350,000
- 9th to 16th: USD 200,000

With regard to the draw scheduled to take place in Wuhan on 22 April 2007, it was decided that world champions Germany and hosts China PR would be seeded (A1 and D1 respectively). The FIFA Women's World Ranking will be used to decide the other seeds. The competition's match schedule was also approved and will be published shortly.

The fourth FIFA women's football symposium will also be held to coincide with the tournament and all FIFA member associations will be invited to attend.

In terms of the development of women's refereeing, it was announced that similar to what their male counterparts had done prior to the FIFA World Cup™, women referees will take part in a number of training camps ahead of the flagship competition of women's football.

In other matters, the committee reviewed recent competitions (FIFA U20 Women's World Championship Russia 2006) and looked ahead to future events (Olympic Football Tournament Beijing 2008; FIFA U20 Women's World Cup Chile 2008; FIFA U17 Women's World Cup New Zealand 2008).

The Women's Olympic Football Tournament in 2008 will feature 12 teams as opposed to 10 in the past.
