NEW YORK \u2014 The United States Soccer Federation formally shared its plans to co-host the 2031 women\u2019s World Cup with Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica, the federation announced on Monday.<\/p>\n

The U.S. bid was the only one to confirm interest by the April 30 deadline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bid is a reflection of our shared belief that soccer can be a force for good,\u201d JT Batson, U.S. Soccer CEO and Secretary General, said in the announcement. \u201cBy bringing the Women\u2019s World Cup to North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, we\u2019re not only creating an unforgettable moment for athletes and fans, we\u2019re building a lasting foundation to grow the women\u2019s game at every level, in every country.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. Soccer and leaders from the partner federations unveiled their plans during a press event at the Solow Building in Manhattan. The announcement comes after FIFA in April announced the United States and unnamed Concacaf partners were the sole bidders to host the competition. In May, the Mexican federation quietly revealed that Mexico also planned to co-host<\/a> with the U.S. Concacaf is the governing confederation of teams located in North and Central America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

\u201cConcacaf fully supports this four-nation bid, which embodies our One Concacaf philosophy,\u201d Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani said. \u201cOur Confederation\u2019s commitment to women\u2019s football has never been stronger, and hosting the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup 2031 will build on this momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n

If selected, the nations would host the largest Women\u2019s World Cup with an expanded 48 countries competing. The hosts will also get the longest lead time to prepare for the Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n

While the bidders have a clear path to co-hosting the marquee event, with no opposing bids, hosts will be officially confirmed at the FIFA Congress on April 30, 2026 in Vancouver.<\/a><\/p>\n

The U.S. last hosted the Women\u2019s World Cup in 2003, nearly three decades ago. The country was a last-minute host after FIFA relocated the World Cup from China following a severe SARS outbreak. The U.S. also hosted the competition in 1999, which is still considered a breakthrough moment for women\u2019s soccer around the world. The U.S. took home its second of four World Cup titles and immortalized the 99ers roster in women\u2019s soccer history.<\/p>\n
