U.S., Mexico Make Joint Bid to Host 2027 Women’s World Cup

The U.S. Soccer Federation announced it has submitted a joint bid with the Mexico Football Federation to host the Women’s World Cup in 2027. That would be a year after the United States, Mexico and Canada jointly host the Men’s World Cup in the summer of 2026.

“The U.S. and Mexico are in a unique position to host a World Cup that will leverage the same venues, infrastructure, and protocols used for the Men’s World Cup just a year prior,” U.S. Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone said in a statement. “As a result, we believe the time is right to host a FIFA Women’s World Cup that features a truly world-class experience for players and fans, alike.”

The United States and Mexico are aiming to play host to the Women’s World Cup in 2027. The U.S. previously held the tournament in 1999.
