The 2027 Women’s World Cup was set to be hosted by either the United States or Mexico, but the two countries have decided to withdraw their bid in order to focus on the 2031 tournament. This decision leaves Brazil and a joint bid from Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands as the remaining contenders.
Sylvs from the Shea Butter FC Podcast joins Episode 132 to discuss this significant development and its implications for women’s soccer in both the US and Mexico.

Looking ahead to the 2031 tournament, Sylvs also discusses the potential competition between South Africa and a US/Mexico bid, which would pit these two countries against each other in a battle for growth of the game versus equal investment and payouts.
