Decisive? Just over a week before the final decision, FIFA published last Wednesday the long evaluation report– 182 pages – of the two candidates competing to host the Women’s Football World Cup in 2027, Brazil on one side, the trio of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany on the other. Without real surprise, the document ensures that the two projects are solid and can, both, organize the world tournament in compliance with FIFA requirements. But when it comes time to rate them, Brazil is in the lead. The evaluation commission gave it an overall score of 4 out of 5, compared to 3,7 for the European bid. In detail, the report highlights that the two major elements of the evaluation, commercial benefits and infrastructure, are favorable to Brazil. The South American bid is ahead of its European rival for the commercial aspect (3,7 against 3,3), as well as for the quality of stadiums and equipment (4,5 against 4). The Brazilians put forward figures of 2,1 million spectators and $59 million in revenue. Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany anticipate smaller attendances (1,7 million spectators), despite a higher number of stadiums (13 compared to 10), with revenue forecasts of $63 million. The final decision must be taken by vote on Friday May 17 at the FIFA Congress in Bangkok.
