FIFA chooses Brazil to host Women's World Cup 2027

FIFA made the announcement during its 74th annual congress in Bangkok, Thailand. It was the first time that all 211 of FIFA's members associations had the opportunity to have a free vote on who should host the women's tournament. According to an evaluation report by FIFA that was released last week, Brazil's bid scored higher than its rival, a joint bid from Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. Mexico and the United States also bid to host the event, but withdrew in late April to focus their efforts on hosting the 2031 tournament.
