2027 WOMEN'S WORLD CUP
FIFA outline schedule for 2027 Women’s World Cup host bid
Three bids have been shortlisted to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup with FIFA outlining the stages to accompany each bid.
After the runaway success of the 2023 Women’s World Cup staged in Australia and New Zealand, thoughts now turn to the next tournament in 2027 with three bids making it to the FIFA shortlist to host the competition.
2027 WWC bids
Belgium/Germany/Netherlands : three way bid (UEFA)
Brazil : sole nation bid (CONMEBOL)
Mexico/USA : joint bid (CONCACAF)
The world’s governing body has outlined the timeline relating to the three bids confirming that the first rounds of inspections will commence as of 30 January (2024).
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.
The findings of the delegation will be released in a report set to be published at the beginning of May this year with the host nation(s) set to be decided via an open vote at the FIFA Congress in Bangkok, Thailand, on 17 May 2024.
