The 2031 Women’s World Cup officially has a huge big from Concacaf. Today, U.S. Soccer, the Mexican Football Federation, the Jamaican Football Federation, and the Costa Rican Football Federation officially announced
they are launching a joint bid for the 2031 Women’s World Cup.
The announcement took place in New York City and hopes to celebrate the growth of the game throughout each part of Concacaf: North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
“We’re incredibly proud to be leading this bid for the 2031 Women’s World Cup alongside our Concacaf partners in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jamaica,” US Soccer president and new FIFA Council member Cindy Parlow Cone said in a statement. “Together, we have an extraordinary opportunity to host the biggest and most impactful Women’s World Cup in history, one that will inspire a new generation of fans and help grow the women’s game across our entire region and around the world. We’re excited to drive lasting progress for women’s soccer by creating a legacy that reaches far beyond 2031 and sets a new global standard for the sport.”
“Concacaf fully supports this four-nation bid, which embodies our One Concacaf philosophy,” said Concacaf president and FIFA vice president Victor Montagliani. “Our Confederation’s commitment to women’s football has never been stronger, and hosting the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2031 will build on this momentum, inspiring future generations of players and fans across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.”
The 2031 joint bid is projecting the tournament as the largest Women’s World Cup in history with as many as 4.5 million fans projected to attend across each of the host nations. In April, FIFA confirmed that the United States bid was the only eligible bid for the 2031 Women’s World Cup, and it is expected that the governing body will confirm the selection of this joint bid in April 2026. In May, FIFA also announced that the 2031 tournament would expand to 48 teams. Like the men’s tournament, that will undoubtedly make the Women’s World Cup the largest ever, with 104 matches hosted between the four host nations.
