WC 2030 and 2034 hosts... any ideas?

[Jackson Harrison]

Meanwhile, in a clear and unwavering sign of Asian unity and solidarity, the AFC Member Associations expressed their support and desire to stand behind a single bid from Saudi Arabia as reiterated by the AFC President for the hosting rights of the FIFA World Cup in 2034.

So unless the NZ has a Qatar-style sole bid (and erects many more stadiums) we'll have another Winter World Cup.

The only hope to rival the Saudi bid is that all 11 OFC members present a joint bid, and if successful, all 11 OFC teams will have an automatic place in the FIFA World Cup final tournament!

(This comment is made sarcastically to rile up some of the anti-OFC members on this forum )

NZ could bid but only with the help of Australia, if they defy the AFC 'whip'.

Wait? Why would they want to host a WWC in Saudi Arabia? They're not exactly known for women's football, they haven't even participated in any of the World Cup Qualifiers in the past!

Are England still bidding for 2031?

The 2031 WWC bidding process will start after the 2027 WWC hosts are decided.

If Belgium/Netherlands/Germany do not win in 2027, England likely will bid for 2031. If the BNG bid win, England will have to wait until at least 2035.

Also, other Asian countries are interested in bidding for WWC. Japan wanted to bid for 2023, but did not so as to support Australia/NZ, so they will likely bid for 2031. China has also expressed interest in bidding for 2031, and I would not be surprised if other countries such as South Korea and even India also throw their hat into the ring. If an Asian country win in 2031, then Saudi Arabia will have to wait until at least 2039. Alternatively, there will likely be many Asian bids for 2035.

No rule that confederations can't host successive Women's World Cups!

There is no hard rule, but very unlikely the national FAs will vote for two consecutive WWC being hosted in the same confederation, so they are better off waiting for the next one without wasting energy and money,

BELGERNED is looking the likely candidate, but who would get which matches? What are the venues? Any news on these things?

They will only decide on these things if they actually win the bid.

Maybe Brussels for the final as they've never hosted a major final before and Netherlands and Germany have.

Why not Berlin or Munich in Germany?

Germany only proposed venues near the borders with Belgium/Netherlands

Ah i see, not the best venues though!

Anyway, why do Germany want to host again? They hosted in 2011!

Dortmund's stadium is still by far the biggest amongst proposed venues and way bigger than any Belgian

Belgium are the least likely of the three to reach the final, so I would say not so likely.

So either Dortmund, who have the largest stadium, or Amsterdam.
