A Brazilian candidacy and two joint ones, those of the United States with Mexico, and Germany together with Belgium and the Netherlands, applied as hosts to organize the 2027 Women’s World Cup, as announced today by FIFA.
In this context, after confirming these alternatives, FIFA will carry out in-person inspections of the venues starting next February and will evaluate its conclusions in a report that will be released in May.
Once the venues have been presented, the designation will be put to an open vote on May 17 at a Congress that FIFA will hold in Bangkok, Thailand.
In the case of Brazil, the cities chosen to host the event, with stadiums renovated or built from scratch during the last decade, will be Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Brasilia, Porto Alegre, Fortaleza, Recife, Salvador, Cuiabá and Manaus .
The World Cup would be played between June 24 and July 25 with quarterfinals in Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Recife; semifinals in San Pablo (Arena Corinthians) and Brasilia (Mané Garrincha); third place in Belo Horizonte (Mineirao) and final in Rio de Janeiro (Maracaná).
For its part, the double candidacy made up of the United States and Mexico intends to take over the 2026 Men’s World Cup, which will be held in both countries and also in Canada.
The cities nominated to be part of the final list are Atlanta, Boston, Houston, Kansas City, Dallas, Guadalajara, León, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Querétaro, Monterrey, Mexico City, Miami, San Francisco, New York/New Jersey and Seattle.
Regarding the European proposal, the World Cup would take place between June 18 and July 18 with 13 stadiums, all already built except for the ZebArena in Charleroi (Belgium), which will be built between 2024 and 2026.
Along with Charleroi, Brussels, Genk and Ghent are Belgian headquarters; the Germans of Gelsenkirchen, Dortmund, Cologne and Düsseldorf; and the Dutch ones in Amsterdam, Enschede, Rotterdam, Eindhoven and Heerenveen.
In this way, one of the three candidates will succeed the edition that this year 2023 was held between July and August in Australia and New Zealand and in which Spain was proclaimed world champion for the first time after beating England in the final by 1- 0.
