FIFA Set to Make History with First-Ever Vote for Women’s World Cup Host: Brazil Leads the Pack with Strong Bid

A recent report released by FIFA has ranked Brazil’s bid for the 2027 Women’s World Cup higher than Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The FIFA Congress is set to vote on the bids on May 17 in Bangkok, marking the first time a formal vote will determine the tournament’s hosts.

Brazil’s bid received a score of 4.0 out of 5, while the European joint bid received a score of 3.7. Both bids exceeded the minimum hosting requirements as determined by the bid evaluation task force.

The United States and Mexico withdrew their joint bid last week, indicating a focus on hosting the 2031 tournament instead. South Africa, which initially bid for 2027, also shifted its sights toward the 2031 event.

Despite never having hosted a Women’s World Cup before, Brazil has shown great interest in hosting this upcoming tournament. Germany previously hosted the Women’s World Cup in 2011, and this will be the most recent Women’s World Cup held in Europe before moving to Asia with Brazil as hosts in 2027.

The technical evaluation committee evaluated various factors such as infrastructure, organization capabilities, financial plans and resources among others when grading each bid.

In conclusion, FIFA is set to make history by determining who will host one of soccer’s biggest tournaments through a formal vote for the first time ever. With Brazil being ranked highly among all other bids submitted and it is shaping up to be an exciting race to see who will host
