Concacaf members join USA’s 2031 World Cup bid

The expanded 48-team tournament will feature matches hosted by Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jamaica, who have all signed on to the United States’ effort to host the Women’s World Cup in 2031.

The United States, along with “potentially some other Concacaf members,” had submitted the only bid to host the competition, according to Fifa president Gianni Infantino in a letter from the organization in April.

The joint bid, according to US Soccer president Cindy Parlow Cone, “offers us an extraordinary opportunity to host the biggest and most impactful Women’s World Cup in history, one that will inspire a new generation of fans and promote the women’s game throughout our entire region and around the world.”

By leaving a legacy that extends beyond 2031 and establishes a new global standard for the game, “We’re excited to drive lasting progress for women’s soccer.”

North America, Central America, and the Caribbean are the confederations for football.

Concacaf fully supports this four-nation bid, which embodies our One Concacaf philosophy, according to its president and vice president Victor Montagliani.

Infantino claimed that the United Kingdom was the only “valid” bidder for 2035 in another April.

The hosts for 2031 and 2035 will be officially confirmed at the Fifa Congress in Vancouver, Canada, where it has already been announced.
