New Zealand's Women's World Cup squad was temporarily evacuated from its hotel in Auckland on Saturday, July 22, 2023, after a fire, the team said, but all players and staff were safe.
It was not immediately clear what caused it, but a Fire and Emergency spokesperson told international media that there had been "multiple blazes" at the hotel, which have since been extinguished.
The spokesperson said some people at the hotel were treated for smoke inhalation but nobody was seriously hurt.
New Zealand is co-hosting the Women’s World Cup with Australia and won the opening match of the tournament 1-0 against Norway on Thursday.
Meanwhile, earlier before the start of the tournament, two people were killed after a gunman opened fire at a construction site in Auckland, New Zealand and the suspected shooter was also killed.
