In the coming months, the United States (US) is set to make a solid push for the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup in conjunction with Mexico. Currently, the United States Soccer Federation president, Cindy Parlow Cone, has come out to urge the nation to stage the illustrious tournament again publicly. On the United Soccer Coaches Convention the past few days, Cone remained hopeful, saying, “As soon as FIFA accepts bids, we will submit ours.” And we’re going to win it.”
It would not be the first time the United States would host the Women’s World Cup. The nation once organized the championships in 1999 and 2003, probably two of the significant events that helped enhance the visibility of women’s soccer competitions around the world.
This time, the ambition is even greater: the bid will be in partnership with Mexico, which will offer an interesting experience of two different countries competing to host a tournament. This was pinpointed to set benchmarks.
FIFA has not revealed when the bidding will commence, but sources claim that it could be as early as 2027. The increase in the Women’s World Cup to forty-eight teams next year also plays a part in this, as all potential hosts will need to prepare early.
Measures that have been taken by US soccer to team up with Mexico for the 2031 tournaments are quite rational and contingent. The United States, Mexico, and Canada are all ready to host the new 2026 FIFA Men’s, the expansion that will be helpful to construct their involvement. US Soccer chief executive officer J.T Batson echoed this, pointing at this continuity whilst declaring that America knows when preparing a sports party, and the women’s World Cup needs no less glitz than the men’s.
Batson also underlined that such occasions are important to advance women’s soccer worldwide: The successful holding of a large-scale tournament would guarantee millions of dollars of revenue that can be used to develop the women’s game on the international level. The U.S. and Mexico are preparing to showcase the first-ever Women’s Soccer World Cup with 48 teams to prove themselves as pioneers of soccer development and team organizing centers.
The joint bid also offers solutions to problems regarding fan fatigue and cost. Initially, U.S. Soccer considered bidding for the 2027 event but later decided to aim for 2031 to allow sufficient time before preparing without overlapping with the men’s World Cup in 2026 plans. “We wanted to give the Women’s World Cup the attention it deserves,” said Cone. “In such a manner, the same efforts and concentration could be invested in the women’s event as will be invested in the men’s.”
The United States has produced some of the most prominent women’s soccer teams, the US Women’s National Team (USWNT), which has had four World Cups. However, in 2023, particularly, they produced a poor performance that still did not see them get to the top four of the competition for the entire history of the USWNT. This outcome pointed to increasing competition in the world of women’s football and called for increased investment in youth talent.
The 2031 World Cup, hosted in North America, will go a long way in raising the profile of women’s soccer in North America. It would also be a chance for the U.S. to prove that it protects equal sports rights for both sexes and makes more talented players and spectators. Already, in upcoming fixtures such as the Club World Cup and Summer Olympics and more in the upcoming ten years, U.S Soccer wants to add significance to itself.
In this right spirit, U.S. Soccer seeks to guarantee that its men’s and women’s football games will continue blossoming by prioritizing long-term development and cooperation with Mexico. The booting ambition accompanying the bid for the 2031 Women’s World Cup is the ambition to host the World Cup event and take women’s soccer to a new level.
The idea of the United States and Mexico hosting the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup may be a new chapter in the history of soccer. Drawn from the analysis, one can conclude that U.S Soccer has everything it takes to make this year’s tournament unforgettable – structure, fan base, vision, and strategy. While FIFA plans to increase the size of the Women’s World Cup, the US and Mexico partnership can be used in future joint hosting. All eyes will be on FIFA’s next move.
