FIFA has received four expressions of interest from prospective host nations for the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
Brazil, South Africa, a joint bid from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany and a joint bid from the United States and Mexico are the four interested parties.
The 2027 Women’s World Cup hosts are set to be appointed by the FIFA Congress via public voting on May 17 2024.
The four bidders have until May 19 2023 to send a copy of the Bidding Agreement – a document that ensure the key principles of the bidding process are observed – back to FIFA and confirm their involvement.
“We are thrilled by the expressions of interest received, not least because they come from member associations with a strong football tradition representing four confederations, thus confirming the consistent popularity of women’s football across the world,” said FIFA Secretary General Fatma Samoura.
“All member associations can rely on the most robust and comprehensive bidding process in the history of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.”
Of the prospective 2027 bidders, Germany and the U.S are the only nations to have previously hosted the Women’s World Cup. The U.S hosted the tournament in 1999 and 2003, while Germany were the host nation in 2011.
