Women's World Cup teams get their own Google Doodles by local artists
Google is also giving soccer fans lots of ways to keep track of scores in real time.
Google is celebrating the 2019 Women's World Cup with a series of doodles representing each of the competing countries.
As the US Women's National Team prepares for their first match in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup on Tuesday, Google is celebrating all the teams in the tournament with a series of doodles.
The latest homepage banner represents work by artists of six different countries: Chile, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Thailand and the US. Teams from each of the countries are competing Tuesday, and Google says the doodles portray a distinct message about what the tournament means for each artist and their country.
Chile artist Luisa Rivera said the World Cup means "teamwork, passion and determination" to her, and Netherland artist Eline Van Dam said she wanted to show how the game "connects people all over the world." Google kicked off its first World Cup-themed doodles last Friday to mark the start of the tournament.
