Brazil will bid to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup, the South American nation’s Sports Ministry said recently.

‘AP’ stated that the Ministry said on Twitter that the country’s bid “is being constructed by the Government and the sports bodies,” including the Brazilian Football Confederation (the governing body of football in Brazil).

The 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup™ is scheduled to be the 10^th edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup™, the quadrennial international women’s association football championship contested by the national teams of the member-associations of FIFA. The tournament will involve 32 national teams, including that of the host nation, after FIFA announced the expansion of the tournament in July 2019.

‘AP’ further stated that both Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo Mayors have expressed interest in having their Cities host the final if Brazil wins the bid.

A joint bid of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany as well as another of South Africa are also in contention. Soccer executives in the United States have recently said they’re considering a bid to host the tournament either in 2027 or 2031.

Brazil held the men’s World Cup in 1950 and 2014.

This year’s Women’s World Cup will be played in Australia and New Zealand.

FIFA is expected to announce its choice next year.

Remarked Ana Moser, Sports Minister of Brazil, “We are starting to deal with this now. We have until March to show our interest and until May to work on it. We are talking to the Brazilian soccer confederation and (potential) Host Cities.”
