US, Mexico, Costa Rica, Jamaica launch joint bid to host 2031 Women's World Cup

The United States, Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica football federations announced on Monday a joint bid to host the 2031 Women's World Cup, the first edition of the tournament to feature 48 teams, Reuters reported.

FIFA approved the expansion of the Women's World Cup from 32 to 48 teams in May, adopting a 12-group format that will increase the number of games from 64 to 104, matching the expanded 2026 men's World Cup.

The federations said in a joint statement the proposal aimed to deliver "the most impactful tournament in history", promising a lasting legacy for women's football across North America, Central America and the Caribbean, according to Reuters.
