2031 Bids
There is currently one bid for 2031.
Mexico–United States
On April 29, 2024, the United States Soccer Federation and Mexican Football Federation jointly announced that they would withdraw their bid for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup and instead bid for the 2031 edition. The United States previously hosted the 1999 edition and 2003 edition, while Mexico has never hosted a Women's World Cup. [3] Both countries are co-hosts of the men's 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside Canada; media outlets speculated that the close proximity of the two events along with the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles may have been a factor in the changed bid plan. [4] Other FIFA and confederation events the two countries have hosted are the 1970 World Cup, 1983 World Youth Championship, 1986 World Cup, 1999 Confederations Cup, and 2011 U-17 World Cup for Mexico and the 1994 World Cup, Copa América Centenario, 2024 Copa América, and 2025 FIFA Club World Cup for the United States. In addition, both countries have hosted the CONCACAF Gold Cup. On January 15, 2025, USSF president Cindy Parlow Cone confirmed the two nations would bid as soon as FIFA announces the bidding process. [5] On March 5, 2025, the USSF announced that it had started the bidding process and later stated that month that they intended to expand the bid to other members in Central America and the Caribbean. [6] [7] On April 3, 2025, FIFA declared the United States and Mexico bid the sole valid bid for 2031. [8]

Withdrawn bids and other expressions of interest
China
In October 2022, the General Administration of Sport of China and the Chinese Football Association announced a new women's football program that would include a bid to host the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup. [11] In 2024, the two SARs of Hong Kong and Macau have also expressed interest in joining the Chinese bid even though they currently have separate FAs (HKFA and AFM). [12] [13] The country previously hosted the inaugural tournament in 1991 and they won the rights to host the 2003 edition, but it was instead hosted by the United States due to the SARS epidemic. The 2007 edition was automatically awarded to China by FIFA as compensation. [14] Other FIFA and AFC tournaments that China has hosted include the 1985 U-17 World Cup, 1997 AFC Women's Championship, 2004 AFC Asian Cup, 2004 AFC U-19 Women's Championship, 2007 AFC U-19 Women's Championship, 2009 AFC U-19 Women's Championship, 2010 AFC U-19 Championship, 2011 AFC U-16 Women's Championship, 2015 AFC U-16 Women's Championship, 2015 AFC U-19 Women's Championship, 2017 AFC U-19 Women's Championship, and 2018 AFC U-23 Championship. The bid was rendered ineligible on 5 March 2025.
Japan
On 5 August 2024, the newly elected president of the Japan Football Association Tsuneyasu Miyamoto expressed the country's interest of hosting the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup. [15] Japan previously co-hosted the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and other FIFA and AFC tournaments Japan has hosted include the 1979 FIFA World Youth Championship, 1991 AFC Women's Championship, 1992 AFC Asian Cup, 1993 FIFA U-17 World Championship, 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup, 2004 AFC U-17 Championship, 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, the men's and women's tournament at the 2020 Summer Olympics, and eight editions of the FIFA Club World Cup. The bid was rendered ineligible on 5 March 2025. Because of this, Japan has decided to push for 2039 instead. [16]
Morocco–Portugal–Spain
In May 2023, former mayor of Barcelona Ada Colau proposed a bid for Barcelona to host the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup. [17] Following the victory in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, Second Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Labor Yolanda Díaz proposed a World Cup bid to Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. [18] Spain's previous FIFA Tournament hosting experience includes the 1982 FIFA World Cup, the 1964 Euro, the 1957, the 1972, 1994 UEFA U-18 Cups, the 1996 UEFA U-21 Cup, the 1988 UEFA U-16 Cup and the upcoming 2030 FIFA World Cup. Spain pushed their bid back to 2035 following the hosting restrictions and announced on March 28, 2025, that they intended to bid alongside Portugal and Morocco (the latter of which already had their own separate bid), similar to their 2030 FIFA World Cup bid. Besides the 2030 FIFA World Cup, Morocco also hosted the 1988 African Cup of Nations, the 2013, the 2014 and the 2022 editions of FIFA Club World Cup, 2018 African Nations Championship, the 2022 Women's Africa Cup of Nations, the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, many tournaments under the UNAF banner, the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations, the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, and they will host the next five FIFA U-17 Women's World Cups from 2025 to 2029. Besides the 2030 FIFA World Cup, Portugal has hosted the 1961 U-19, the 1991 FIFA U-20 World Cup, the 2003 UEFA U-17, the UEFA Euro 2004, the 2006 UEFA U-21, and the 2019 UEFA Nations League Finals. [19] The bid was rendered invalid on 3 April 2025. It was later revealed that Spain and Portugal wanted to bid, but Morocco had no interest in bidding so the Europeans decided against filing an application. [20] The three are planning to bid for the 2039 Women's World Cup.
