USA, Mexico Submit Bid To Co-Host 2027 Women's World Cup

Dec 8, 2023 1:19 PM

The United States and Mexico submitted a joint bid Friday to co-host the 2027 Women's World Cup.

The United States, Mexico and Canada are co-hosting the 2026 Men's World Cup.

"This is a pivotal time for women's soccer," said U.S. Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone. "The U.S. and Mexico are in a unique position to host a World Cup that will leverage the same venues, infrastructure, and protocols used for the Men's World Cup just a year prior.

"This will not only unlock the economic potential of women's soccer, it will send a message to young players around the world that there is no limit to what they can achieve."
