The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) announced on Wednesday that FIFA has accepted a joint bid from Mexico, the United States, Jamaica and Costa Rica to host the 2031 Women’s World Cup.
A step toward the final decision
In a message on its social media channels, the FMF said FIFA had published its evaluation report on the four-nation bid and that the project meets the minimum organisational requirements. The bid will now be presented at an Extraordinary FIFA Congress on 23 November.
The federation described the development as another step toward bringing the sport’s biggest women’s event to the region.
Mexico’s proposed venues
Mexico put forward four stadiums as potential hosts. The list includes the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, which has already staged men’s World Cup matches three times. The others are the Estadio Guadalajara in the west of the country, and the Estadio Monterrey and the TSM Corona, both in the north.
Strong evaluation
The joint bid scored 4.4 out of a possible 5 points in FIFA’s report. According to the federation, the successful organisation of the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by Mexico, the United States and Canada, had a positive influence on that assessment.
