The 2027 edition of the Women’s World Cup football will take place in Brazil between June 24 and July 25, as announced by FIFA. The 32-team tournament, the first edition of the women’s world championship to be held in South America, will follow the same confederation berth allocation as the 2023 edition, with 11 teams from European body UEFA qualifying directly.
Asia’s AFC will have six direct spots, Africa’s CAF and North America’s CONCACAF four each, while South America’s CONMEBOL will have three and Oceania’s OFC will have one. The remaining three spots will be determined by a 10-team playoff tournament, played in two stages between November 2026 and February 2027.
Brazil, which won the hosting rights in May, will host the tournament in between 10 and 12 venues, many of which were used in the 2014 men’s World Cup “This historic tournament will have big impact not only in South America, but in the whole world,” FIFA president Gianni Infantino said in a statement.
FIFA will also confirm this Wednesday the hosts of the 2030 and 2034 men’s World Cups: the first will be in a three-continent, six-nation bid led by Morocco, Spain and Portugal, and the second in Saudi Arabia.
