Brazil has been officially chosen to host the 2027 Women's World Cup, following a vote at the FIFA Congress. The country received 119 votes, surpassing the joint bid from Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany, which received 78 votes. FIFA's technical evaluation highlighted Brazil's strong commercial plan and existing infrastructure, including stadiums built for the 2014 Men's World Cup. This marks the first time a South American country will host the Women's World Cup. The selection process saw the United States and Mexico withdraw their bids to focus on the 2031 tournament.
