The US Soccer Federation and Mexican Football Federation have decided to withdraw their joint bid to host the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Instead, they will focus on a bid for the 2031 edition of the tournament, with a goal of equal investment as the Men’s tournament to maximize the commercial potential of the women’s tournament.
The announcement of the winning bid for the 2027 tournament will take place at the 74th FIFA Congress in May. Currently, there are two remaining bids to host the tournament – one from Brazil and a joint bid from Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany. Despite their change in plans, US Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone expressed her excitement about hosting an international soccer competition in the United States in 2025 with the FIFA Club World Cup. She emphasized that hosting such events is essential to impacting a global audience positively with meticulous preparation.
Mexican Football Federation president Ivar Sisniega highlighted his country’s experience gained from co-hosting the men’s World Cup in 2026. He emphasized that Mexico is confident it can provide quality infrastructure and an enthusiastic fan base for a successful event that will contribute to the growth of women’s football globally.
