The 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup will be the eighth FIFA Women's World Cup, an international women's football world championship tournament that is scheduled to take place in 2019. In March 2015, France won the right to host the event, the first time the country will host the tournament and the third time it has been in Europe. Matches will be played in eleven cities across France. The tournament will involve 24 national teams, including that of the host nation, assuming the current format of the finals is maintained.

Host selection

On 6 March 2014, FIFA announced that bidding had begun for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. Member associations interested in hosting the tournament had to submit a declaration of interest by 15 April 2014, and provide the complete set of bidding documents by 31 October 2014.[1] In principle, FIFA prefer the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup and the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup to be hosted by the same member association, but if circumstances require, FIFA reserves the right to award the hosting of the events separately.

Initially, five countries indicated interest in hosting the events: England, France, Korea Republic, New Zealand and South Africa. However, the number of biding nations were narrowed down to two in October 2014, when the French Football Federation and Korea Football Association submitted their official bid documents to FIFA.[2] Both The Football Association and New Zealand Football registered expressions of interest by the April 2014 deadline,[3][4] but in June 2014 it was announced that each would no longer proceed.[5][6] The South African Football Association registered an expression of interest by the April 2014 deadline,[7] however later decided to withdraw prior to the final October deadline.[8] Both Japan Football Association and the Swedish Football Association had also expressed interest in bidding for the 2019 tournament, however Japan chose to focus on the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the 2020 Summer Olympics,[9] whilst Sweden decided to focus on European U-17 competitions instead.[10][11]

The following countries made official bids for hosting the tournament by submitting their documents by 31 October 2014:[12][13]

On 19 March 2015, France officially won the bid to host the Women's World Cup and the U-20 Women's World Cup. The decision came after a vote by the FIFA Executive Committee.[16]
