A total of four bids have been received to host the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, it has been announced.
The Brazilian Football Association (CBF) and the South African Football Association (SAFA) have put forward their names.
The other two are joint expressions of interest with the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) teaming up with the Mexican Football Federation (FMF).
A joint-European bid was put forward by the Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA), the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) and the German Football Association (DFB).
As the next step, FIFA is expected to send a bidding agreement to interested parties and the Member Associations will have time until May 19 to return and confirm their interest.
"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."
The host(s) will be announced at the FIFA Congress through public voting on May 17 next year. Read More…
