We are excited about the opportunity to co-host the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup and, in collaboration with our @Concacaf partners, are committed to delivering a tournament that leaves a lasting legacy - one that elevates women’s soccer across the world and inspires future generations of players and fans. As FIFA finalizes the number of participating teams in the tournament, we will solidify our partnership structure with fellow Concacaf nations. We look forward to sharing more details and unveiling our full vision for the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup in the near future.

Huge victory for @NWSL getting Friday night football on Prime and Saturday night double headers on Ion. Plus CBS and ESPN/ABC means a lot of exposure to our wonderful players and teams.
Deal is DONE. The game has changed. 👏
