This market aims to predict the host country for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027. The bidding process for hosting the tournament is competitive and involves several nations. As of the latest information, three main bids are in consideration:
A joint bid from Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany.
A joint bid from the United States and Mexico.
A solo bid from Brazil.
South Africa initially showed interest but later withdrew to focus on a bid for the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Resolution Criteria:
The market will resolve to the country or countries that are officially selected to host the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027. The final decision will be made through an open vote at the next FIFA Congress in Bangkok on May 17, 2024. The evaluation process by FIFA includes on-site inspection visits, with FIFA slated to publish its findings in a bid evaluation report in May 2024. The bidding nations have proposed various cities and stadiums as potential venues for the matches. If multiple countries are chosen which spread across multiple answers, the grouping with the greatest number of matches will be chosen based on the market creator's discretion. If the majority of matches are in a not listed country, and some matches are in a listed country, the resolution will be "Other."
Considerations:
Participants should consider factors like existing infrastructure, previous experience in hosting major tournaments, revenue projections, and FIFA's strategic interests. For instance, the United States and Mexico have projected substantial revenue from hosting the event, and the US has prior experience hosting Women's World Cups. Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany's bid focuses on a compact and climate-friendly approach, while Brazil emphasizes its readiness in terms of infrastructure.
Risks and Disclaimer:
This is a prediction market and not a guarantee of the outcome. Political, economic, or other unforeseen factors may influence FIFA's decision.
Market Monitoring:
The market will be monitored for any significant developments or announcements related to the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027 host selection process. Changes in the bidding situation or new information from FIFA will be considered for market adjustments.
Final Resolution:
The market will resolve after the official announcement of the host(s) for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027 by FIFA. The resolution time may be extended as needed for delays by FIFA.
Conflict of Interest:
The creator of the market may participate in the market. If question looks like it may get "interesting" in the sense that there may be more interpretation needed for resolution, the creator may close out all predictions and/or abstain from future participation to maintain neutrality.
