- FIFA confirms receipt of bids from Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, Germany), joint bid (Mexico, United States), and Brazil for 2027 Women’s World Cup
- Comprehensive evaluation, including on-site visits, will determine the host country; decision to be made at FIFA Congress in May 2024
FIFA officially confirmed on Saturday that three bids to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup had been submitted “across three confederations” as the bidding process concluded. The bids come from Europe with a joint proposal from Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany, another joint bid from Mexico and the United States, and Brazil as the sole bidder.
FIFA will undertake a comprehensive evaluation process, which includes on-site inspection visits starting in February 2024. The findings will be published in a bid evaluation report in May 2024. The final decision on the host country for the 2027 Women’s World Cup will be determined through an open vote at the FIFA Congress in Bangkok on May 17, 2024.
South Africa, initially considering a bid, withdrew last month, expressing a preference to present a well-prepared bid for the 2031 tournament. The United States previously hosted the Women’s World Cup in 1999 and 2003, while Germany hosted the event in 2011. The most recent Women’s World Cup in 2023 was co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, with Spain emerging as the champions by defeating England in the final.
