For Remote and Laid-Back Dunedin, a Warm Welcome to the Women's World Cup
Hanging on the edge of the stunning South Island, in one of the world’s more remote countries, sat a scenic, minor-league sized city founded by Scottish immigrants. Then, a few weeks ago, one of the world’s biggest sporting events came to town, bringing in thousands of visitors. Reporter, in a cab: “So, is Dunedin excited for the Women’s World Cup?” Cab driver: “Yes – and no.” Welcome to Dunedin, which at a latitude of 45.88 degrees South is the southernmost city to ever host a match in a soccer World Cup, men’s or women’s.
