Brazil will host the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup following a vote at the 74th FIFA Congress on Friday. Brazil got 119 votes from the Congress, beating the joint bid of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, which took 78 votes. Brazil's successful bid means the 10th edition of the tournament will be held in South America for the first time. FIFA had earlier received two other initial expressions of interest to host the 2027 event, namely a joint bid by the United States and Mexico, and a single bid from South Africa. However, they withdrew to focus on bidding for the tournament in 2031. The 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup was held in Australia and New Zealand, where Spain clinched the title. |
