Host selection

The host nation for the 2031 Women's World Cup is scheduled to be decided by the FIFA Congress in the second quarter of 2025, a year after the host selection for the 2027 edition, with bid regulations for approval in the second quarter of 2024.[1][2]

China

In October 2022, the Chinese Football Association and the nation's sports ministry announced a new women's football program that would include a bid to host the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup.[3] The country previously won the rights to host the 2003 edition, which was instead hosted by the United States due to the SARS epidemic; the 2007 edition was automatically awarded to China by FIFA as compensation.[4]
