DUBAI, 11th December, 2024 (WAM) -- The 2027 edition of the Women's World Cup for soccer will take place in Brazil between 24th June and 25th July, global governing body FIFA said on Tuesday.

The 32-team tournament, the first edition of the women's world championship to be held in South America, will follow the same slot allocation for confederations as the 2023 editions, with 11 teams from European body UEFA qualifying directly.

Asia's AFC will have six direct slots, and Africa's CAF and North America's CONCACAF four each, while South America's CONMEBOL will have three and Oceania's OFC will have one.

The three remaining slots will be determined through a 10-team playoff tournament, played in two phases between November 2026 and February 2027.
