Brazil has been announced as the host nation for the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup 2027\u2122 following an open vote at the 74th FIFA Congress in Bangkok, Thailand.<\/p>\n
It was the first time that the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup\u2122 host was decided through an open vote at FIFA Congress, with Brazil receiving 119 Brazil to 78 votes of the Belgium, Netherlands and Germany joint bid.<\/p>\n
The 2027 edition will be the 10th iteration of the tournament and will be the first time the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup\u2122 will be played on South American soil, having previously been held in China PR, Sweden, the USA, Germany, Canada, France, and Australia & Aotearoa New Zealand (co-hosts).<\/p>\n
What they said
\n\u201cThis victory is a victory for women\u2019s football in South America and in the world. By winning the right to host the FIFA Women’s World Cup, we expect to strengthen women\u2019s football all over.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor us to host the football world and host the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup in Brazil for the first time, will lead to more women and young girls playing football in schools, in parks, at the beach. That legacy will lead to women being more included in the football world and will showcase their ability to take up other positions in football.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can be sure that we want to host the greatest and best FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup ever. You\u2019re all invited to come to Brazil to enjoy our country\u2019s hospitality, our people\u2019s eccentricity and the joy of welcoming a stranger with open arms.\u201d
\nEdnaldo Rodrigues, President of the Brazilian Football Confederation<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a year of hard work, a lot of expectations, and the idea was always to change women\u2019s football in South America. Today, women\u2019s football in South America \u2013 not only in Brazil \u2013 is developing and we always believed that a FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup in Brazil would make this development speed up.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn terms of the next steps, right now we have to celebrate. It is a great achievement for South America. We will celebrate, we won\u2019t feel the pressure, we won\u2019t feel nervous, we will enjoy this moment.\u201d
\nValesca Araujo, Manager of the Brazilian bid process<\/p>\n
\u201cIn Brazil, there are still many issues for women playing football so this will have a direct impact on footballers coming through, the number of footballers, the incentives that parents can give their children to play football.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019ll have a tremendous impact and I hope that it\u2019ll really allow girls to dream of becoming professional footballers, just as boys can dream. It\u2019s a huge achievement and a foundation so that all women can aspire to be what they want to be.<\/p>\n
\u201cGirls will see inspiration close at hand and I\u2019ve got no doubts that it\u2019ll really connect with them and feed their dreams to become professional footballers as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rosana, FIFA Legend and former Brazil international
\n\u201cAround the 1950s, 60s and 70s, women\u2019s football was banned in Brazil. We have ex-footballers who were arrested because they were playing football and those footballers were the ones who, with grit and determination, overcame those bans and earned their freedom, so that today myself and so many other girls have the freedom to play football without those bans.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like this is a reward: having the opportunity to host the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup, every one of them has a part in the making of this. Because I didn\u2019t suffer half of what they suffered. So today is the result of what they all did for women\u2019s football, not only in Brazil but around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Formiga, FIFA Legend and former Brazil international
\n“A movie plays in my head. I remember the beginning… As a child, I couldn’t even imagine that football would really be my profession because I didn’t even have girls to play with me. And today, I can experience so many incredible things in this sport and wake up to this news that Brazil will host the World Cup.<\/p>\n
“It’s the realisation of a dream, it’s the realisation of how the sport has established itself and shown how great it is. Brazil will embrace the Brazilian team, the World Cup and women’s football in an incredible way.<\/p>\n
“I hope that women’s football keeps conquering its space and showing its strength \u2013 the strength of women. It is an achievement far beyond women’s football, it’s an achievement for women. With all of the difficulties we face, today is a victory. Today, women won.”<\/p>\n
Bia Zaneratto, Brazil international and FIFA Legend
\n\u201cI\u2019m very happy. It is a well-deserved achievement for a country that breathes, loves and is passionate about football \u2013 that is Brazil.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that what made the difference for Brazil was the joy and the happiness of the Brazilian people, and how welcoming they are towards people from other countries. We\u2019re the country of smiles, of joy, of happiness, regardless of what\u2019s happening in it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t have the greatest results with the team in the two FIFA World Cups\u2122 we hosted in 1950 and 2014. We now have the chance to revert that result with the women\u2019s team and win a FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
