​“It is a great honour that the China Post today released this special stamp to commemorate the FIFA Women’s World Cup returning to its cradle as it’s maiden edition took place here in China back in 1991. Football-related stamps have been much sought-after collectors’ items for decades. I would like to thank China Post and the designer Wang Hong for this great visual element and their commitment to women’s football,” said Wowari Makudi, chairman of the Committee for Women’s Football and the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

​The history of FIFA World Cup postage stamps dates back to 1930. The China 2007 stamp is the first for a FIFA Women’s World Cup. Earlier this year, Canada Post issued the first-ever stamp for a FIFA U-20 World Cup.
