The tournament is in just four years. By comparison, the hosts of the 2026, 2030 and 2034 men's tournaments have already been announced: Canada, Mexico and the United States for '26, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay for '30, and Saudi Arabia for '34.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cLeading the South African Bid for the 2027 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup has been a great honour and a privilege,\u201d said Tumi Dlamini, the chairperson of South Africa\u2019s 2027 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup Bid. \u201cFootball remains one of the most unifying sports in the world and investing in women\u2019s sports must continue to be a priority in South Africa.  South Africa\u2019s efforts to invest in women\u2019s sports will and must be a priority. We wish the rest of the bidding nations all of the best.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, the bidding process will continue for the 2027 World Cup and FIFA will confirm the hosts in May 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
