How do they decide which country gets to host the Women's World Cup?

The process of selecting a host country for the Women's World Cup is overseen by the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the governing body for soccer around the world. FIFA selects the host country through a bidding process, where countries submit proposals outlining their plans for hosting the tournament.

When considering bids, FIFA takes a number of factors into account, including the country's existing soccer infrastructure, the availability of suitable stadiums and training facilities, transportation and accommodation options for teams and fans, and the country's overall ability to host a major international event. Other factors, such as the potential legacy of the tournament and the country's plans for promoting women's soccer, may also be taken into consideration.

Once the bidding process has concluded, FIFA evaluates the proposals and selects the host country for the tournament. In some cases, multiple countries may be selected to co-host the tournament, as was the case for the 2023 Women's World Cup, which will be hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
