BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgium, Netherlands and Germany have launched a joint bid to host the 2027 Women's World Cup.
Under the slogan, “Three Nations, One Goal,” the three federations on Monday said they will detail their plans in an official document by the end of the year before starting negotiations with national governments and potential host cities.
A deadline for the bids hasn’t yet been set by FIFA.
“We want the women’s World Cup, the world’s largest women’s sporting event, to take place here in 2027,” Belgian federation chief executive Peter Bossaert said. “In recent years, with the European Championship in the Netherlands in 2017 and the World Cup in France in 2019, we have seen what such an event can bring - great matches, full stadiums, large numbers of TV viewers and visitors from all over the world.
