The 2027 Women's World Cup will be the tenth edition of the tournament and will feature 32 countries playing across ten cities. The reigning champions, Spain, will be looking to defend their title against formidable opponents such as USA, Germany, Japan, and Norway, who have all lifted the coveted trophy in the past.
Overall, the announcement of Brazil as the host of the 2027 Women's World Cup is a major milestone for women's football and a testament to the sport's growing popularity and success.
