The Royal Belgian Football Association (RBFA), the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) and the German Football Association (DFB) jointly bid for hosting the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027™. The bidding documents to host the world's biggest women's sporting event were developed under the motto 'Breaking New Ground' reflecting the initial letters of the three countries.
In addition to the joint BNG2027 bid, Brazil, South Africa (withdrew) and the USA together with Mexico (withdrew) also submitted bids. On 17 May 2024, the FIFA Congress in Bangkok voted 119 to 78 in favour of Brazil to host the tournament.
With this bid, the three associations wanted to extend the existing success of the FIFA Women's World Cup™ and strengthen women's football worldwide. In addition to a compact concept with 13 stadiums – 4 in Belgium, 5 in the Netherlands and 4 in Germany (North Rhine-Westphalia) – the main focus laid on fan experience and sustainability.
After PROPROJEKT already supported the DFB with the selection of the German Candidate Cities, the cooperation with the three associations was continued in 2023. PROPROJEKT was responsible for the coordination of the bid book development process and, together with AS+P, provided the bid team with technical and coordination support in the preparation of the bidding documents.
The biding documents, which were submitted to FIFA on 8 December, include the 17-chapter bid book, an executive summary in English, Spanish and French as well as additional technical documents.
