The Women’s FIFA World Cup 2027 will be held in Brazil from June 24 to July 25, 2027. This was after consultation with the Brazilian Football Association and other confederations.
The FIFA council met virtually to discuss a number of FIFA competitions expected to take place in the coming years and set a way forward for the preparations of these competitions. Among the discussion was the announcement of the 2027 FIFA Women’s Cup host country and the dates for the tournament. It was also during this meeting that the council revealed that there is an evaluation process taking place for bidding for the 2030 and 2034 editions of the World Cup.
As per FIFA, the Tournament Will Have 32 Teams Competing From Across the Globe With a Division as the Following:
- 1. Six direct slots from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
