South Africa Withdraws Bid To Host 2027 Women’s World Cup

Date:

South Africa have withdrawn its bid to host the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the football association (SAFA) said on Friday.

South Africa were among four bids confirmed by FIFA, but the country will instead focus on submitting a bid for the 2031 tournament.

“We felt that it was better to present a well-prepared bid for the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup and ensure we put our best foot forward, rather than producing a rushed presentation,” SAFA CEO Lydia Monyepao said on the FA’s official website.

The remaining candidates are a joint bid from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, one from Brazil and another joint bid by Mexico and the United States.

The FIFA Congress will decide the hosts on May 17th, 2024.

Australia and New Zealand hosted the 2023 tournament, which Spain won. The US, Mexico and Canada will co-host the men’s World Cup in 2026.
