During the visit of the competition cup to Brazil at the end of March, the President of the Republic, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, reiterated his desire to organize the Women’s World Cup in the country in 2027:

“The Federal Government, through the Presidency, the Ministry of Sport, the Itamaraty, will be available to CBF to do whatever is necessary so that we can bring, in 2027, the Women’s World Cup to Brazil. It will be an event extraordinary, motivating the construction of a political awareness among the Brazilian people so that they understand the participation of women effectively in every corner where they can and want to participate, where they want, the way they want”, said the President of the Republic.

The choice of the next host for the Women’s World Cup will only take place in May of next year.
