Brazil Named Hosts of 2027 Women’s World Cup
In a historic decision, Brazil has been selected to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup. The announcement was made during FIFA’s 74th Congress in Bangkok, Thailand. Brazil secured the hosting rights by an open vote, with member associations favoring Brazil over a joint bid by Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany.
This marks the first time a South American nation will host the prestigious tournament. The Women’s World Cup has grown in strength since its inception in 1991, and Brazil’s appointment as hosts continues this tradition. The tournament will provide an exciting opportunity for FIFA to build on the momentum generated by the successful 2023 edition held in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
