All We Know a Year Away from the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup
The World Cup is coming back next year! You heard me correctly; we are less than a year away from the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup, which is set to take place in Brazil. The tenth edition of the tournament is set to host 32 teams from around the world from June 24th, 2027 to July 25th, 2027. The excitement is already building up, with many teams fighting for qualification. With just 332 days to go, fans might be wondering what the set-up and organization will look like. Fret no more, for this article contains all the information you need to know to enjoy the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup fully.
The Women’s World Cup will turn 10 in 2027, and it's set to celebrate its birthday in Brazil. The last World Cup took place in Australia and New Zealand, and had Spain walk away with the title after a 1-0 victory over England. Sounds familiar? As of now, the qualified teams are: Brazil, Australia, China, South Korea, Japan, Philippines, North Korea, New Zealand, Argentina, Colombia, Germany, Denmark, Spain and France. If you did your math right, you realized that is only 14 teams. The Asian teams qualified after winning the AFC Women’s Asian Cup Quarterfinals, except for the Philippines and North Korea, who won the same tournament’s play-in. The European teams qualified after winning their UEFA group, and New Zealand after being the OFC winner. Colombia and Argentina secured their spots after winning or achieving second place in the CONMEBOL Tournament, respectively. The remaining 18 spots are yet to be decided.
The rest of the teams will be decided after the CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2026, the Concacaf W Championship 2026, the UEFA play-off matches and the inter-confederational play-off games. All in all, we are still a few months away from knowing the 32 teams that will be competing, but that only makes it more exciting. This year Spain became the first country to win a Women’s World Cup and a Men’s World Cup consecutively, showcasing the amazing quality of soccer in the country. For now, I recommend tuning into the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup CAF Qualifiers to see the teams that will be fighting for a spot in next year’s event.
