Brazil abandoned to bid for Women's World Cup financial deterioration due to corona 12:19 on June 9
Brazil in South America has decided to withdraw from the candidacy for the 2023 Women's World Cup in Soccer, which Japan is also aiming to invite, due to the financial deterioration caused by the spread of the new coronavirus.
This was announced on the official website by the Brazilian Football Federation on the 8th.
As a result, "because of the economic and fiscal austerity measures brought about by the outbreak of the new coronavirus, we cannot sign the guarantee required by the FIFA = International Football Federation," etc. In the event of a deficit in the operation of the Games, the government will not be able to provide financial guarantees, so the candidate for the venue will be withdrawn.
In Brazil, the infection has spread rapidly, especially in poorly populated areas, the number of infected people has exceeded 690,000, and is the second largest in the world after the United States. The president has been criticized both inside and outside the country for reluctance to prevent infection.
With the exception of Brazil, Japan, Colombia, and three candidates, Australia and New Zealand, who are proposing to co-sponsor, are all aiming to hold the 2023 Soccer Women's World Cup for the first time. It will be decided by a vote of FIFA's board meeting held online on 25th this month.
