Every state and territory has expressed interest in hosting a match if Australia's bid for the 2023 Women's World Cup is successful, but legendary Matilda Lisa De Vanna doubts she will still be playing then.

The FFA announced the bid in June 2017 and on Monday launched a AusBid2023.com website for Australians to #GetOnside and submit registrations of support.

FFA boss David Gallop said he hoped the bid winner would be known around the time of the next World Cup in France in June-July 2019.

He said the bidding process had been delayed but hoped it would start over the next few months.
