FIFA has released a report evaluating the bids for the 2027 Women’s World Cup, and it appears that Brazil is in the lead. The South American nation’s bid received a score of 4.0 out of 5, while the European joint bid scored 3.7. Both bids met or exceeded the minimum hosting requirements set by FIFA’s bid evaluation task force.
The FIFA Congress will vote on the bids on May 17 in Bangkok, marking the first time a formal vote will determine the tournament’s hosts. However, it seems that some countries have already made their decision to withdraw their bids from the tournament. The United States and Mexico withdrew their joint bid last week, indicating a focus on hosting the 2031 tournament instead. South Africa also shifted its sights toward hosting the 2031 event after initially bidding for 2027.
Brazil has hosted two men’s World Cup tournaments, in 1950 and 2014, but has never hosted a Women’s World Cup before now. Germany previously hosted this tournament in 2011. This year marks an exciting opportunity for Australia and New Zealand as they co-hosted this event for the first time in history.
Overall, it seems like Brazil is leading in this race to host the Women’s World Cup in 2027 with its technical evaluation receiving a score of 4 out of 5.
