Belgium, Germany and Netherlands submit joint bid to host 2027 Women's World Cup

The tournament hosting bids for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027 have been submitted by three countries, who will be competing with Brazil.

Last month, Brazil submitted their bid, while the United States and Mexico also submitted a joint bid. South Africa had initially submitted a bid but withdrew, stating that they wanted to present a well-prepared bid for the 2031 edition.

The Dutch Football Federation (KNVB) highlighted the extensive consultations and collaboration between the three federations and key stakeholders, including central governments, since 2021. They believe that their countries are well-suited to host a Women's World Cup of exceptional quality and impact.

On Friday, the United States and Mexico submitted their joint bid to co-host the 2027 Women's World Cup. If successful, this would mean that North America would host both the men's and women's World Cups in consecutive years.

US Soccer emphasized that bringing the Women's World Cup to North America would take advantage of the remarkable growth in women's sports and deliver an immensely successful tournament.

Despite already co-hosting the 2026 men's World Cup with Canada, US Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone viewed this as a positive opportunity.

She stated that hosting the Women's World Cup immediately after the Men's World Cup would allow them to utilize the same venues, infrastructure, and protocols, unlocking the economic potential of women's soccer and inspiring young players worldwide.

FIFA will conduct on-site inspection visits to the bidding countries in February, and the hosts for the Women's World Cup 2027 will be announced in May during the FIFA congress.

This year, Spain emerged victorious over England in the final, while Australia and New Zealand also participated in the event.
