The 2022 IFAF Women's World Championship was the fourth IFAF Women's World Championship, an American football competition for women. It was held between July 30 and August 7, 2022, after originally having been planned for 2021. The tournament was hosted at Myyrmäen jalkapallostadion in Vantaa, Finland.[1] The defending champion is the United States.
On the eve of the tournament, Mexico announced that they would not be able to make it to Finland for their first round game against Great Britain, putting their participation in the tournament in jeopardy.[2] The next day it was announced that Great Britain would win their quarterfinal matchup with Mexico on walk over.[3]
The two teams started out scoring a touchdown each with both teams failing to convert their PAT, leaving the score level after the first quarter. After the first quarter, however, Canada pulled away, scoring three more touchdowns and two field goals while keeping Australia from scoring any more points. The game's MVP awards were presented to Canada's quarterback Maude Lacasse (passing for 133 yards 1 touchdown, and 1 interception, while also rushing for 37 yards) and Australia's wide receiver Jordan Di Mizio (with 7 catches for 52 yards and 1 touchdown).
Finland beat Sweden thanks in part to a dominant defensive performance, where the Swedes were kept to negative offensive yardage in the first half, as well as an imposing performance by running back Tytti Kuusinen who rushed for three touchdowns. The game's MVP awards were presented to Finland's Kuusinen and Sweden's linebacker Elin Thimfors.
