It seems only natural to us that Brazil, world-renowned for its remarkable accomplishments
in men’s football, should submit its proposal to host the ultimate showcase for women’s sport
and football: the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027™.
In line with such a prestigious tournament, which will advance women’s sport beyond
traditional borders, we have chosen to optimise the social and cultural influence, the power of
digital interaction and, above all, the human energy of an entire continent to make this bid a
momentous event with a rich legacy.
With the confirmed support of Conmebol, we hope to bring the FIFA Women’s World Cup to
South America for the first time. We are eager to resonate throughout the world the sheer
joy, the naturalness of the game, and the diversity, strength and perseverance of countless
generations of South American women.
As the host country, Brazil is fully prepared to host a mega-sporting event of such magnitude
and importance. As foundation, we have our successful ten-year track record in planning,
2
organising and staging major sporting competitions as well as our ongoing long-term strategy
of developing and promoting women’s football, which has featured an exclusive calendar for
women’s competitions since 2020.
Our aim is for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027™ to become a springboard and an
inspiration for girls and women across the world who are considering a career in football both
on and off the pitch. Furthermore, in partnership with our stakeholders, we would like the
event to become a platform for raising awareness of issues that are of paramount importance
to South Americans, such as economic, social and environmental Sustainability, Social
Responsibility and Inclusion, as well as Respect for Diversity.
We look forward to the excitement and excellence of the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ in
Brazil in 2027, as it will pave the way for future generations in this country, in South America
and throughout the world to express themselves freely, consciously and naturally through
sports and women’s football.
