Brazil picked to host 2027 Women's World Cup, a first for South America
BRAZIL will host the 2027 Women’s World Cup after a vote of Fifa’s full membership chose the South American bid over a joint proposal from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
The Fifa Congress voted today 119-78 for Brazil in the reduced field of two candidates to host the 2027 tournament after a joint bid by the US and Mexico was pulled late last month, and South Africa withdrew its candidacy in November.
