Brazil beat a joint bid from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.
THE WOMEN’S WORLD Cup will take place in South America for the first time after Brazil was chosen to host the 2027 edition at a Fifa congress Friday marked by debate about the war in Gaza.
Brazil’s bid includes 10 stadiums used for the men’s World Cup in 2014, with Rio de Janeiro’s famous Maracana lined up for the opening match and final. Unlike their male counterparts, who have won five World Cups, Brazil’s women have never lifted the trophy and made a group-stage exit in 2023. The Republic of Ireland finished bottom of their pool after losing to host nation Australia, Canada, and drawing 0-0 with Nigeria.
Delegates had their choice simplified last month when the United States and Mexico withdrew their joint bid, deciding instead to focus on trying to win the right to stage the 2031 edition. PFA head Jibril Rajoub said the Israeli FA had broken Fifa rules, adding: “Fifa cannot afford to remain indifferent to these violations or to the ongoing genocide in Palestine.”
