Four concerns representing countries have expressed their interest in hosting the 2027 Women’s World Cup 2027.

They were:

* The Royal Belgian Football Association, the Royal Netherlands Football Association and the German Football Association (joint expression of interest)

* The Brazilian Football Association

* The South African Football Association

* The U.S. Soccer Federation and the Mexican Football Association (joint expression of interest)

The expressions of interest represent four confederations (CAF, Concacaf, CONMEBOL and UEFA). The remaining two (AFC and OFC) are hosting this year’s Women’s World Cup.

FIFA will send the bidding agreements – a document necessary to ensure that the key principles of the bidding process are observed – to the interested parties, which will have until May 19 to return it 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,” FIFA secretary general Fatma Samoura said in a statement.

“All member associations can rely on the most robust and comprehensive bidding process in the history of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.”

The appointment of the host(s) is due to be made by the FIFA Congress via public voting on May 17, 2024.
