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 2027TM. 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 'BNG' bid, the football associations of South Africa, Brazil and the USA together with Mexico, are also taking part in the bidding process for the world's biggest women's sporting event. The host election is expected at the FIFA Congress on 17 May 2024.
With this bid, the three associations want 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 North Rhine-Westphalia – the main focus lies on fan experience and the sustainability of the tournament.
After PROPROJEKT already supported the DFB with the selection of the German Candidate Cities last year, the cooperation with the three associations was continued. 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.
