Football World governing Body FIFA is set to conduct on- site inspection of facilities in Jamaica this week.
This as part of the joint bid involving Jamaica alongside the United States, Mexico and Costa Rica to host the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup finals.
The FIFA delegation members will be in the island on Thursday and Friday before heading to Costa Rica and Mexico to complete the visits of the quartet of Concacaf nations.
These evaluations are done by FIFA to put together a report on the preparation and analyse facilities ahead of a prospective 2031 tournament in Concacaf.
FIFA will announce if the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica are successful in their bid to host the 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup at the FIFA congress in Vancouver, Canada on April 30, 2026.
The 2031 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be the first Women’s World Cup to feature 48 countries as it will expand from 32.
If successful, jamaica would become the first caribbean country to co-host a senior FIFA World Cup tournament.
Jamaica would also become the smallest nation in terms of population to host a FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Ut will also mean that Jamaica would qualify automatically for the 2031 tournament and would not participate in the Concacaf qualifiers for that cycle.
trinidad and tobago have hosted Under17 World Cup tournaments while the Bahamas has hosted a FIFA beach soccer world cup.
