United States confirms Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica as co-hosts for 2031 Women's World Cup proposal
Officials from United States soccer confirmed on Monday that Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica are teaming up with them for the 2031 Women's World Cup proposal.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino had previously revealed that the United States stands alone as the bidder for the enlarged 48-team event.
During an official unveiling of the proposal in New York, US representatives noted that fellow CONCACAF countries Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica will host matches in the competition.
"We are immensely proud to spearhead this proposal for the 2031 Women's World Cup together with our CONCACAF allies in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jamaica," declared US Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone in a press release.
"In collaboration, we possess a remarkable chance to deliver the largest and most influential Women's World Cup ever."
The collaborative proposal awaits formal ratification at FIFA's Congress in Vancouver in 2026.
In April, Infantino disclosed that the United States is the exclusive bidder for the 2031 event, potentially involving additional CONCACAF participants, whereas the 2035 edition is slated for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Infantino had earlier unveiled the expansion of the tournament from 32 to 48 teams.
CONCACAF President and FIFA vice-president Victor Montagliani expressed support for the joint proposal in a statement.
"The dedication of our Confederation to women's football is at its peak, and staging the FIFA Women's World Cup 2031 will amplify this drive, motivating upcoming generations of athletes and supporters throughout North America, Central America, and the Caribbean," stated Montagliani.
