FIFA held a board meeting on the 5th (Korea time) and decided to hold the 2031 North Korea-China-Caribbean tournament and the 2035 tournament in Africa or Europe. Tokyo Sports reported that 'Tsuneyasu Miyamoto, president of the Japan Football Association, announced his intention to host the event through FIFA President Gianni Infantino in August last year, but this decision completely extinguished the possibility'.
The women's World Cup is also subject to the principle of circular hosting by continent. Previously, the 2023 tournament was co-hosted by Australia, a member of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), and New Zealand, a member of Oceania (OFC). While the 2027 tournament was decided to be held in Brazil, the principle of circular hosting in other continents was also applied to the subsequent tournament.
As of March, Japan is ranked eighth in the FIFA Women's World Rankings, the highest in Asia. He has played in all tournaments since the creation of the Women's World Cup, and in 2011, he became the first Asian man and woman to win the World Cup. It has secured the base as well as the highest popularity of women's soccer in Asia.
Meanwhile, the U.S.-Mexico wants to co-host the 2031 Women's World Cup and England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland want to co-host the 2035 World Cup. South Africa has also entered the bid to host the 2035 tournament.
