Chicago Submits Bid to Host 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup
Chicago has officially submitted its application to host matches for the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup, following its withdrawal from the bid to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The city, alongside Portland, has filed the necessary paperwork with U.S.
Soccer, which is currently being processed before submission to FIFA for consideration. The United States is part of a combined bid with Mexico, Jamaica, and Costa Rica for the 2026 World Cup, which will be the first tournament featuring 48 teams and will include a total of 104 matches across the four countries.
Chicago is likely to propose Soldier Field, which has a capacity of 61,500, and a new 22,000-capacity stadium for the Chicago Fire, expected to be ready by 2028. Kara Bachman, executive director of the Chicago Sports Commission, stated that the city aims to participate in a manner that is equitable for taxpayers.
FIFA is set to announce the winning host countries on 23 November, with ongoing negotiations regarding hosting duties.
