New Delhi, May 18: FIFA, the international body governing football, has confirmed that Brazil, which beat a joint bid by Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany (BNG), will host the 2027 women’s World Cup, the media reported on Friday.
“Congratulations to Brazil. We will have the best World Cup in Brazil,” FIFA President Gianni Infantino said.
