From Europe comes a joint bid between Belgium, Netherland
and Germany while Mexico and the United States also teamed up as they submitted
another joint bid just before Friday’s deadline.
Brazil is the only country with a sole bid.
“FIFA will now conduct a thorough evaluation process,
including on-site inspection visits that are due to get underway in February
2024, before publishing its findings in a bid evaluation report in May 2024,”
the organisation said in a statement.
The final decision will be made through an open vote at the
next FIFA Congress in Bangkok on May 17, 2024.
South Africa had planned to bid but withdrew last month with
their federation preferring “to present a well-prepared bid for 2031”.
The United States hosted the 1999 and 2003 World Cups on its
own, and Germany hosted the 2011 event.
The last Women’s World Cup was co-hosted by Australia and
New Zealand in July and August this year, with Spain beating England in the
final.
