FIFA Accepts Joint Bid From Mexico, United States, Jamaica and Costa Rica for 2031 Women's World Cup
FIFA has given the green light to the joint bid from Mexico, United States, Jamaica and Costa Rica to host the 2031 Women's World Cup. The proposal received a score of 4.4 out of 5 and will be presented at FIFA's Extraordinary Congress.
The joint bid from Mexico, United States, Jamaica and Costa Rica has taken an important step toward hosting the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup after soccer's global governing body confirmed that the proposal meets the minimum hosting requirements.
The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) announced Wednesday that FIFA had released its evaluation report, awarding the four-nation bid a score of 4.4 out of a possible 5 points.
Through its social media accounts, the FMF explained that the project will be presented at FIFA's Extraordinary Congress on November 23, when the process to determine the tournament's host will move forward.
The Mexican federation welcomed the result, emphasizing that it represents significant progress toward bringing one of women's soccer's most important competitions to the region.
Which Mexican Stadiums Could Host Matches at the 2031 Women's World Cup?
As part of the bid, Mexico proposed four stadiums to host matches during the 2031 Women's World Cup.
Among the venues under consideration is the historic Estadio Azteca, which has hosted matches at three editions of the men's FIFA World Cup and has extensive experience staging major international events.
The proposal also includes Estadio Guadalajara, located in western Mexico, along with Estadio Monterrey and Estadio TSM Corona, both situated in the northern part of the country.
These four venues are part of the proposal submitted by the Mexican federation, although their final inclusion will depend on subsequent decisions in the hosting selection process.
The 2026 World Cup Strengthens the Bid for 2031
One factor that positively influenced the evaluation was the experience gained from organizing the 2026 FIFA World Cup, jointly hosted by Mexico, United States and Canada.
According to the report referenced by the FMF, the results of that tournament contributed positively to the assessment of the new bid.
The participation of Jamaica and Costa Rica expands the regional scope of the project, which aims to bring four nations together to organize the women's competition.
Although FIFA's acceptance of the bid represents an important step forward, it does not constitute a final decision on the tournament's host.
The next stage will be its presentation at FIFA's Extraordinary Congress, scheduled for November 23.
