The host country for the 2023 Women's World Cup will be appointed on June 25 by the Fifa Council, which will have to choose between four candidates, the international federation announced on Friday.
In a session that will take place online, due to the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic, the FIFA executive will have to choose between four files: a joint candidacy of Australia and New Zealand and three other files presented by Brazil, Colombia and Japan.
The last Women's World Cup was organized in 2019 in France and was won by the United States.
Fifa intends to implement the application procedure "the most exhaustive, the most objective and the most transparent in the history of the competition", assured Fatma Samoura, general secretary of Fifa, quoted in a press release.
