Brazil has been named the host of the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the first time a South American nation was named hosts

The announcement was made after voting at the 74th FIFA Congress meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday.

Brazil emerged victorious over the joint bid from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany.

The Super Falcons, who were eliminated in the second round at last year’s World Cup by England on penalties, will aim to make significant progress in 2027.

Their best achievement remains reaching the quarter-finals in 1999.

The exact dates for the 2027 World Cup have yet to be announced, but the tournament is expected to follow the 32-team format of the last edition, with four national teams from Africa participating.
