U.S., Mexico, Jamaica, Costa Rica launch joint bid to host 2031 Women’s World Cup

The United States, Mexico, Jamaica, and Costa Rica have officially launched a joint bid to host the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup, aiming to make it the largest in history.

The United States, Mexico, Jamaica, and Costa Rica have officially announced a joint bid to host the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup, marking a historic collaboration across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

The announcement was made in New York City by U.S. Soccer president and FIFA Council member Cindy Parlow Cone, who described the bid as “an extraordinary opportunity to host the biggest and most impactful Women’s World Cup in history.” She added, “Together, we can inspire a new generation of fans and help grow the women’s game across our entire region and around the world.”

Concacaf president and FIFA vice president Victor Montagliani expressed full support for the initiative, calling it a reflection of the “One Concacaf philosophy” and emphasizing the confederation’s growing commitment to women’s football.

The four-nation bid projects an estimated 4.5 million fans across the host countries, making it the largest Women’s World Cup ever staged. FIFA has confirmed that the United States-led bid is currently the only eligible proposal, with final approval expected in April 2026.

The 2031 tournament will also feature an expanded 48-team format and 104 matches, mirroring the men’s World Cup setup — a move expected to elevate global visibility and participation in women’s football.
