The 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup will take place in Brazil from June 24 to July 25, FIFA announced Tuesday.
The tournament will feature 32 teams and will be held in South America for the first time.
Brazil is one of three CONMEBOL countries selected as hosts. UEFA has the most spots with 11, followed by the AFC with six, CAF and CONCACAF with four each, and the OFC with one. The remaining spots will be decided through playoffs.
Spain, the reigning champion, won the 2023 Women’s World Cup, which was co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
FIFA is expected to reveal the Brazilian cities and stadiums that will host the tournament in 2025. Twelve cities have submitted bids, including several that hosted matches during the 2014 Men’s World Cup.
