In a game-changing move, the U.S. and Mexico have withdrawn their bid to host the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, opting instead to focus on securing the 2031 edition. The decision, announced Monday, aims to create a “record-breaking” tournament that elevates women’s soccer globally 🌍.
U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone emphasized the need for more preparation time, stating: “Shifting our bid will enable us to host a World Cup that raises the level of the women’s game both at home and worldwide.” The move reflects growing demands for equitable resources in women’s sports 💪.
With this withdrawal, only two bids remain for 2027: a solo proposal from Brazil 🥇 and a joint effort by Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands 🌷⚽. The host will be decided on May 17 during the FIFA Congress in Bangkok, Thailand. Stay tuned for updates as the world’s most popular sport continues leveling up its global stage 🚀!
