FIFA needs to be quicker in deciding their major tournaments on the women's side like they do with the men....

They will announce the host of the 2031 WWC in the second quarter of next year. #Morocco2031 ❤🇲🇦

I think Brazil should be given the tournament because you have Marta coming to the end of her career and Brazil not having replaced her with another star in the team quite yet. Having a World Cup in Brazil will allow the Brazilian women's soccer fandom continue to flourish and using Marta as a still relevant person to bring attention to the games. You saw this with the Brazil World Cup in 2014 boosting soccer in the US, now is the time for that boost to help Brazil itself.

@@ckmeh9974 that's what I said, read my comment. She's coming to the end of her career and they haven't replaced her in star power even though you have young players who are talented like Kerolin. These players also tend to play abroad so they haven't been seen by many Brazilian fans consistently. Having the WC in Brazil now let's Marta be a relevant figure (not player) in bringing attention to the tournament.

​@@rynejones8513I think I understand the argument you're making, but I dont agree with the "star" phenomenon. Kerolin, Geyse, Debinha, Andressa, Ary Borges, etc. they are awsome players. Its better for the public to know them all, as a team, rather than focus on one big name. This being said, the WWC in Brazil would help women's sport in the whole continent, so I hope they make a good bid and win it.

Brazil was a smashing success. The Brazilian people enjoy all the great infrastructure that were built. Brazil is a great rich country with their citizens happy unlike America.

I hope Brazil gets to host it

US has hosted twice already the women WC and it will also host the second for men with the 2026 WC. That is 4 world cups since 1994. I think it wont hurt to let other countries to give a it a try.

Going by confederation CONMEBOL or CAF haven't hosted yet. I think it will be in Brazil mainly for going to a region it hasn't been before.

The sense of entitlement is laughable. Football is only the fourth/fifth biggest sport in America. Whereas the home of the biggest leagues in the world the PL and WSL and where football is a religion is England and they've only ever hosted ONE men's World Cup and NO women's.

Ok, if you want to see soccer grow in the United States, wouldn’t the smart move be to put the game here and host more events here? Also England will have to wait if the European bid wins in a few weeks. You are the entitled one thinking that you should host because you’re the “ancestral home of the game”.

I am coming for all those Burnt Ends 😉

The “over-saturation of FIFA tournaments in the USA” is misleading. There is no problem of fans buying tickets at the stadiums for all the events. There is no problem with venue availability, nor infrastructure, nor accessibility for TV and media. The problem is that the sponsors don’t want to spend money in the USA in 2027 after spending a ton of cash for the 2026 WC. Sponsors want to let the market respond to the advertising for a couple of years before dumping more money in that same market. Alternately, that money is wanted in the UEFA realm in 2027 more than the USA. That’s why USSoccer and the FMF repositioned their bid for 2031 - both federations knew they did not have the votes to win the 2027 bid

Hello Sam and Rog. The usual thing is for competitions to move round by time zone, so Brazil would come after Pacific, then Europe or Africa. I could imagine a Spain and Morroco bid next time.

Bummed for US, Canada and Mexico. I would’ve thought with the men WC being in the states the year before increased their chances. Welp…😢😢

At the end of the day it would've been very hard for the US to host a World Cup in 2026 and 2027...

I don’t understand the equal investment clause for the USA bid in 2031. Do they mean from FIFA or from advertisers. I can’t see fifa agreeing to the same funding level as the men’s World Cup. They obviously don’t care about what right or wrong… Qatar… cough cough… . The money will have to come from advertisers/ticket sales to provide the equal investment they are seeking. I don’t see advertisers having it in their budget for doing the same elevated level of marketing dollars for both tournaments. Maybe that’s why they delayed since investors would have time to recoup the money to advertise at the same level for a men’s World Cup.

Gutted. Would rather watch the women's cup than the men's because the women at least have a chance of winning it.

I feel for the players but I think this in the right move. 2027 is too close to the Mens 2026 World Cup, so there is the real risk of oversaturation in a challenging sporting country. I hope we lock in 2031 and soon so we can look forward to it!

I would love to see the competition here at Brazil. Would be too awesome to see everybody playing around here. The only bad side is that u already retired Sam 😢

Sucks for the fans who wanted it. Im going to save up to buy men's tickets. It's alot of money for the average fan to buy WC tickets. But let's be real, USA won't win another WC for a long time.

the cynic in me thinks maybe FIFA didnt want to see security guards in full tac gear with ballistic vests and weapons on the edges of the pitches in Mexico. we saw this when the US went down there a bit ago, and it was scary. imagine all those teams having to worry about security. im probably wrong though, where FIFA is concerned, its probably just about the money. def a bummer.
