FIFA confirm three candidates to host 2027 Women's World Cup

FIFA on Saturday confirmed that three bids to host the Women's World Cup in 2027 had been lodged "across three confederations" before the bidding process closed.

From Europe comes a joint bid between Belgium, Netherland and Germany while Mexico and the United States also teamed up as they submitted another joint bid just before Friday's deadline.

The final decision will be made through an open vote at the next FIFA Congress in Bangkok on May 17, 2024.
