The United States and Mexico have joined forces in a bid to host the 2027 women’s World Cup, and by every measure it would be a smash hit.
The stadiums, training centers and infrastructure are already in place. From the grass roots to the unmatched national team, the United States has been at the forefront of growing women’s soccer globally.
Mexico’s developmental gains over the past five years are notable, and with the country offering its top venues, soccer history and economic support, the bid gains strength.
Attendance records that have stood since the 1999 World Cup — the first time the United States staged the women’s tournament — probably would tumble, and watch parties would fill large outdoor spaces nationwide.
