The U.S. and Mexican soccer federations announced Wednesday night that they intend to bid to co-host the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup — which comes one year after those countries, along with Canada, will jointly stage the World Cup for men.
U.S. interest in hosting the women’s tournament for the first time since 2003 — and the third time overall — is not a surprise. Teaming up with Mexico is.
“Women’s football in Mexico has experienced sustained growth over the last five years and its development, both on and off the field, coupled with the female empowerment it has achieved and will continue to achieve, is one of the strategic priorities” for the Mexican federation, its president, Yon de Luisa, said in a statement. “It is with pleasure that we are teaming up again with the U.S. Soccer Federation.
The 2026 World Cup for men will include a record 48 teams and 104 matches across 11 venues in the United States, three in Mexico and two in Canada. The women’s tournament expands to 32 teams this year, an increase of eight from 2019 and double the number of participants since the last time it took place in the United States.
China and the United States have hosted twice, and Sweden, Germany, Canada and France once apiece. Australia and New Zealand will co-host the competition this year.
