U.S. Soccer, Mexico will submit joint bid for 2031 Women's World Cup instead of 2027

U.S. Soccer and the Mexican Football Federation announced that they have withdrawn their joint bid to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
The two federations said that they would instead shift their focus to securing the 2031 World Cup, with the bid calling for equal investment to the men's tournament.
“Hosting a World Cup tournament is a huge undertaking – and having additional time to prepare allows us to maximize its impact across the globe,” U.S. Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone said in a statement.
“I’m proud of our commitment to provide equitable experiences for the players, fans and all our stakeholders. Shifting our bid will enable us to host a record-breaking Women’s World Cup in 2031 that will help to grow and raise the level of the women’s game both here at home as well as across the globe.”
The USA-Mexico bid was one of three finalists for the tournament, which means the 2027 World Cup will come down to two remaining bids: a three-country proposal from Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands, and a bid from Brazil.
The host of the 2027 tournament will be announced after a vote at the FIFA Congress on May 17 in Bangkok, Thailand.
The United States will still have plenty of major events coming even without the World Cup in 2027. The country will host the Copa América this summer, the expanded Club World Cup in 2025, the men's World Cup in 2026 alongside Mexico and Canada, and the 2028 Olympics will be in Los Angeles.
With such a crowded schedule, the two federations made the determination to shift their focus to 2031.
“After careful analysis we feel that moving our bid back to 2031 will allow us to promote and build up to the most successful Women’s World Cup ever," said Mexican Football Federation president Ivar Sisniega.
“The strength and universality of our professional women’s leagues, coupled with our experience from organizing the 2026 World Cup, means that we will be able to provide the best infrastructure as well as an enthusiastic fan base that will make all the participating teams feel at home and to put together a World Cup that will contribute to the continued growth of women’s football.”
