Expansion Details: What’s Changing?

The number of participating teams in the Women’s World Cup will increase from 32 to 48.

This means more teams, more matches, and more excitement for fans worldwide.

A Global Push for Women’s Football

FIFA President Gianni Infantino sees this change as a way to support the continued growth of women’s football.

He believes this expansion will help push the sport to new heights globally.

Impact on the 2035 Tournament in the UK

The 2035 Women’s World Cup will be held in the United Kingdom.

The tournament will feature 12 groups of four teams and over 100 matches, following the new format.

England hopes this will boost the popularity of the women’s game in the UK, especially after the success of the 2022 Women’s European Championship.

Concerns and Cautions from Players’ Unions

The announcement has been cautiously welcomed by FIFPRO, the global players’ union.

While supportive of the expansion, they stressed that FIFA must ensure equal support for players and improve conditions across all levels of women’s football.

The 2027 World Cup Remains at 32 Teams

For now, the 2027 tournament in Brazil will stick to the current 32-team format.

However, the new expansion plan will take full effect in 2031, setting the stage for the 2035 UK tournament.

FIFA’s Focus on Afghan Women’s Football

FIFA is also working on a new initiative for Afghan women’s football, including a refugee team.

This will provide Afghan women players with opportunities for international competitions, despite the challenges they face in their home country.

What’s Next for the Women’s World Cup?

As we approach 2031, the FIFA Women’s World Cup will continue to evolve.

With more teams and a broader global reach, it promises to be an exciting future for women’s football.
