In a significant development for women’s football, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jamaica have joined the United States in a collaborative bid to host the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup. This expanded 48-team tournament promises to be the largest and most impactful edition in the event’s history. FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed in April that the United States, alongside potential Concacaf members, had submitted the sole bid for the 2031 competition. The joint effort aims to inspire a new generation of fans and elevate the women’s game globally. US Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone emphasized the bid’s potential to create a lasting legacy, stating, ‘We’re excited to drive lasting progress for women’s soccer by creating a legacy that reaches far beyond 2031 and sets a new global standard for the sport.’ Concacaf, the governing body for football in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, has fully endorsed the bid. Victor Montagliani, Concacaf President and FIFA Vice-President, highlighted the confederation’s commitment to women’s football, noting that hosting the 2031 World Cup would build on this momentum and inspire future generations across the region. Meanwhile, FIFA has already announced Brazil as the host for the 2027 Women’s World Cup, with the 2031 and 2035 hosts set to be confirmed at the FIFA Congress in Vancouver, Canada, next April. The United Kingdom has emerged as the sole valid bidder for the 2035 tournament. This news follows the recent success of Spain, who triumphed in the 2023 Women’s World Cup by defeating England in the final. The United States, Canada, and Mexico are also co-hosting the 2026 Men’s World Cup, further solidifying North America’s role as a global football hub.
