A FIFA delegation will visit specific locations chosen in consultation with the respective bid committees and will hold meetings with those committees to assess certain technical aspects included in the bid books and discuss the overall plans for women’s football development in the respective countries. The inspection visits represent just one part of the overall assessment process to be carried out by FIFA.
On Tuesday, FIFA officials will begin site visits for the three bids to host the 2027 Women's World Cup.
