On Friday, FIFA announced the victory of Brazil to host the upcoming edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 following an open vote at the 74th FIFA Congress in Bangkok, Thailand.
It was the first time that the FIFA Women’s World Cup host was decided through an open vote at FIFA Congress. Brazil received 119 votes, and the joint bid of Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany received 78 votes.
Ednaldo Rodrigues, President of the Brazilian Football Confederation said: “This victory is a victory for women’s football in South America and in the world. By winning the right to host the FIFA Women's World Cup, we expect to strengthen women’s football all over.
“For us to host the football world and host the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil for the first time, will lead to more women and young girls playing football in schools, in parks, at the beach. That legacy will lead to women being more included in the football world and will showcase their ability to take up other positions in football."
