U.S.-Led Four-Nation 2031 Women's World Cup Bid

The United States, Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica announced a joint bid to host the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup, which will be expanded to 48 teams and feature 104 matches and would be the first edition staged across four countries. FIFA has confirmed the U.S.-led proposal as the sole bid, and the federations say the plan aims to deliver “the most impactful tournament in history” and create a lasting legacy for women’s football across CONCACAF. The U.S. is expected to host the bulk of matches; Mexico would host a Women’s World Cup for the first time, and Jamaica and Costa Rica would each stage World Cup matches for the first time if selected. The federations will submit an official bid book in November ahead of FIFA’s formal vote at its Congress in Vancouver on April 30, 2026. The bid follows the U.S. and Mexico withdrawing a joint 2027 bid after FIFA awarded the 2027 tournament to Brazil.
