Mexico City, April 20 (BNA): The United States and Mexico informed FIFA on Wednesday that they will bid to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) have until May 19 to formally file a Bid Agreement.
The United States previously hosted the Women’s World Cup in 1999, when it won its second of its record four titles, and in 2003. Mexico has never hosted the tournament, Reuters reports.
Australia and New Zealand will co-host the 2023 edition of the tournament.
“The United States has long been a world leader in the women’s game, and we are honored to co-host the premier global women’s soccer event alongside Mexico,” said NFL President Cindy Barlow Coon.
“Women’s football in Mexico has experienced sustained growth over the past five years, and its development is one of the federation’s strategic priorities,” added FIFA President, Yon de Luisa.
