This is why it is relevant to thoroughly analyze and understand the impact and scope of 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup bids today, as well as its future implications.
The 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup bidding process is the process used by FIFA to select the host for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. There are four bids from seven countries that hope to host the 2027 Women's World Cup.
On 23 March 2023 FIFA launched the bidding process for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. The key dates include:
On 24 April 2023 FIFA confirmed to have received four expressions of interest to host FIFA Women's World Cup 2027:
On 19 October 2020, the football associations of Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands announced their intention to jointly bid for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. The intention is for the three countries to make further agreements about the organization before the end of this year and to record this in a covenant. Belgium and the Netherlands jointly hosted the UEFA European Championship in 2000, with Belgium having previously hosted in 1972. Germany hosted the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2011 and the UEFA European Women's Championship in 2001. Germany also hosted the FIFA Men's World Cup in 1974 and 2006, the men's Euro in 1988, and will do so again in 2024. Germany and the Netherlands co-hosted several matches in the multi-national UEFA Euro 2020. The Netherlands hosted the Women's Euro in 2017. The host cities of Germany are Dortmund, Gelsenkirchen, Düsseldorf and Cologne, all in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Dutch host cities are Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Enschede, Heerenveen and Rotterdam. The Belgian host cities are Genk, Anderlecht, Gent and Charleroi.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), along with Rio de Janeiro city, have expressed interest in participating in the election for the 2027 World Cup. The country was already one of the finalists for the 2023 edition, but had to withdraw its candidacy due to the lack of support from the federal government, in addition to the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The project is part of a study carried out by the Rio Convention & Visitors Bureau (RCV), which also makes possible other events with Olympic sports and FIFA tournaments in Rio de Janeiro until 2033, including the 2031 Pan American Games, using the city again as host (since it hosted the competition in 2007), reusing the structures used in the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. The country has twice hosted the men's version of the World Cup, in 1950 and 2014, in addition to the 2013 Confederations Cup.
On 1 March 2023, the city of São Paulo expressed interest in participating in the election with Rio de Janeiro, offering the Arena Corinthians and Allianz Parque to receive the matches. The next day, CBF President Ednaldo Rodrigues sent a letter to FIFA, confirming the country's intention to compete in the 2027 World Cup. Other Brazilian cities can also participate in the project, as the event involves the entire country. On 7 March the Brazilian Minister of Sports, Ana Moser, confirmed the country's bid to host the tournament. Then, the cities of Salvador, Brasília, Cuiabá, Belém, Manaus and Fortaleza also offered to host the World Cup in an event on SAFs and the football capital market, organized by the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV) on 11 March. Among the capitals that offered, only Belém did not host the last men's World Cup in the country in 2014, losing its place to Manaus.
On 28 September 2023, the CBF confirmed the cities of Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Cuiabá, Fortaleza, Manaus, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Salvador as the capitals that will make up the official Brazilian candidacy document, with Belém leaving the project and the inclusion of the capital of Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul, increasing the number of candidates for the World Cup to ten. The locations are similar to those of the 2014 men's edition, but without the inclusion of Curitiba and Natal in future matches. The plan also foresees the opening match at the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha and the closing match at Maracanã, while in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Porto Alegre and São Paulo, there was an uncertainty between two stadiums. In the capital of Minas Gerais, the dispute would be between Mineirão and Arena MRV, while in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul the dispute is between Estádio Beira-Rio and Arena do Grêmio and in the Brazilian megalopolis the dispute is between Neo Química Arena and Allianz Parque , with Mineirão, Beira Rio and Neo Química Arena being the favorite stadiums for having hosted the men's version games in 2014. A successful bid would be South America's first time hosting the Women's World Cup.
Before his resignation in 2017, former U.S. Soccer president Carlos Cordeiro expressed an interest in having the U.S. host the tournament, stating "I believe we can and should host the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2027." However, it was not known where current president Cindy Parlow Cone could have stood on a possible bid. If successful, the U.S. would host the Women's World Cup one year after co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup and one year before Los Angeles hosts the Summer Olympics again. The United States has previously hosted the 1994 FIFA World Cup and this tournament twice in a row in 1999 and 2003. It was reported on 6 August 2021 that U.S. Soccer was considering a bid for the 2031 Women's World Cup as an alternative before reinstating its plan for 2027 on 17 June 2022. In 2022 Yon de Luisa (the president of the Mexican Football Federation) announced interests in hosting the 2027 edition and would seek to make a bid for it. Mexico has never hosted a FIFA Women's World Cup, but has hosted the men's World Cup twice, in 1970 and 1986, and will do so again as joint host for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The intention to submit a joint bid between the United States and Mexico was announced on 19 April 2023 prior to a friendly match between the men's teams. On 8 December 2023, the U.S. Soccer Federation and Mexico Football Federation submitted a joint bid to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup, projecting $3 billion in revenue. The bid book includes sixteen cities with five from Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey, León and Querétaro City) and eleven from the United States (Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco Bay Area and Seattle).
Motivated by the success of their country's national team and domestic league,[citation needed] the South African Football Association (SAFA) submitted a bid, after having previously expressed interest in bidding for the 2023 edition. The bid sought to host the tournament in eight of the ten venues used for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, sans Ellis Park and Loftus Versfeld Stadium, which were replaced by Orlando Stadium and Griqua Park. After violence marred the 2022–23 SAFA Second Division playoffs, SAFA expressed concern about its impact on the bid, and ultimately withdrew in November 2023 prior to the host selection, opting instead to bid for the 2031 edition.
Chile's Ministry of Sports, and the Italian Football Federation, both expressed interest in submitting bids for the tournament, with their respective premier domestic women's leagues, the Campeonato Nacional Fútbol Femenino and Serie A being professionalised as part of both countries' efforts to attract future international tournaments. A joint bid by the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) was also explored by their respective national football federations, and had preemptively gained the endorsement of the Nordic Council. None of these efforts resulted in bids being submitted for the 2027 tournament.
