Brazil has been ranked higher than Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium in a FIFA report evaluating bids for the 2027 Women’s World Cup. The tournament’s hosts will be determined by a vote at the FIFA Congress on May 17 in Bangkok.
FIFA has given Brazil’s bid a rating of 4.0 out of 5, while the European joint bid received a score of 3.7. Both bids exceeded the minimum hosting requirements as determined by the bid evaluation task force.
The United States and Mexico withdrew their joint bid last week, indicating a focus on hosting the 2031 tournament instead. South Africa, which initially bid for 2027, also shifted its sights toward the 2031 event.
Brazil has hosted two men’s World Cup tournaments in 1950 and 2014 but has never hosted a Women’s World Cup. Germany previously hosted the Women’s World Cup in 2011, and Australia and New Zealand co-hosted it in 2023 as part of their first time hosting an international women’s soccer tournament.
