The 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup is getting closer and closer to defining its venue, and Mexico could co-host it with the United States, as recently confirmed by the organization’s president, Gianni Infantino. The North American bid is, so far, the strongest in the selection process.
During UEFA’s annual congress in Belgrade, Serbia, Infantino revealed that the United States has already submitted an official letter of intent to host the 2031 tournament. The bid would most likely include one or more countries from the CONCACAF region, with Mexico being the natural partner, given its experience and recent collaboration for the 2026 Men’s World Cup.
Will grow to 48 selections
One of the most relevant points of the 2031 Women’s World Cup is that it will increase from 32 to 48 participating teams.
This increases the logistical, infrastructure and venue requirements, making a joint bid between Mexico and the United States even more feasible.

Mexico has proven to be a country with organizational capacity, especially after being confirmed as one of the three venues for the 2026 Men’s World Cup, along with Canada and the USA.
In that tournament, stadiums such as the Azteca Stadium, the BBVA Stadium in Monterrey and the Akron Stadium in Guadalajara will host World Cup matches.
The United States leads
Buzzy
FIFA has confirmed that Europe is excluded from the 2031 Women’s World Cup bid.
For this reason, the United Kingdom has opted to apply for 2035, with England as the lead country in the proposal.
The political endorsement of the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has already been communicated.
This leaves the way clear for the joint North American bid to take priority.
Especially if it meets all technical requirements prior to formal document delivery, scheduled for the end of April 2025.
For Hispanics in the U.S. and Mexico, this potential 2031 Women’s World Cup is a historic opportunity to advance women’s soccer at all levels.
The official designation by FIFA is expected in 2026, and if it materializes, it would be the first Women’s World Cup to be played in Mexican territory.
