16 Women's National Football Teams compete every four years for this women's world championship. One of the most famous moments in the women's tournament, and perhaps in the history of women's sports overall, is Brandi Chastain 's victory celebration after scoring the Cup-winning Penalty against China in 1999. She took off her jersey and waved it over her head (as men frequently do), showing her muscular torso and sports bra, as she celebrated. The 1999 and 2003 Women's World Cups were both celebrated in the United States; in 2003 China was supposed to host it but it was moved because of SARS . As compensation, China retained its automatic qualification to the 2003 tournament as host nation and received the FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 . The next country to be decided by vote will be the host of the 2011 Women's World Cup . SEE ALSO Women's Football (soccer) TOURNAMENTS
