BRAZIL will host the 2027 Women’s World Cup after a vote of Fifa’s full membership chose the South American bid over a joint proposal from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

The Fifa Congress voted today 119-78 for Brazil in the reduced field of two candidates to host the 2027 tournament after a joint bid by the US and Mexico was pulled late last month, and South Africa withdrew its candidacy in November.

It will be the first time the global women’s tournament, first played in 1991, is staged in South America .
