USA Leads Historic Four-Nation Bid for 2031 Women's World Cup
The women's soccer world is abuzz as the United States officially announced a historic joint bid to host the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup, teaming up with Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jamaica. If successful, this would mark the first time the tournament is staged across four countries, showcasing unprecedented North American and Caribbean collaboration in the sport. The bid underscores the explosive growth and global appeal of women’s soccer, setting the stage for what is already being promoted as the 'largest Women's World Cup ever' in terms of both scope and ambition. In addition to this major international development, the USWNT legend Christen Press has announced her retirement from professional soccer, closing a storied chapter in American soccer history. Elsewhere, the U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team called 24 players to camp in Kansas City ahead of upcoming competitions, and the U17 WNT kicked off their World Cup campaign with a victory over Ecuador. Additionally, Liberty University women's soccer program was recognized with the Team Pinnacle award for the third consecutive year, reinforcing the strength of the domestic game.
