The mascot of the 2023 Women's World Cup was announced on the 19th, and it's "Tazuni" based on the little blue penguin.
The image basis of "Tazuni" comes from a little penguin that is only distributed in Australia and New Zealand. The locals usually call it the small blue penguin or the fairy penguin, which is extremely popular.
The name "Tazuni" may be a combination of the English words "Tasman Sea" and "Unity", implying that Australia and New Zealand will jointly host the 2023 Women's World Cup. "Tazuni" will make a public appearance during the draw for the 2023 Women's World Cup in Auckland, New Zealand, on October 22.
