U.S. Soccer proposed 14 host stadiums as part of their 2031 Women's World Cup bid, alongside Mexico, Jamaica and Costa Rica.

On Friday, FIFA released the bid books for the 2031 and 2035 tournaments, with only one bidder for each competition. For 2035, the only submitted bit thus far is a plan consisting of all four countries in the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Of the 14 stadiums in the proposal for the U.S., seven are hosting matches during the 2026 men's World Cup. The list of proposed host cities is as follows

Stadiums with an asterisk are 2026 World Cup venues.

  • Atlanta: Mercedes-Benz Stadium*
  • Charlotte: Bank of America Stadium
  • Dallas: AT&T Stadium*
  • Denver: Empower Field
  • Houston: NRG Stadium*
  • Kansas City: Arrowhead Stadium*
  • Los Angeles: SoFi Stadium*
  • Minneapolis: U.S. Bank Stadium
  • Nashville: Geodis Park
  • New York/New Jersey: MetLife Stadium*
  • Orlando: Camping World Stadium
  • San Diego: Snapdragon Stadium
  • Seattle: Lumen Field*
  • Washington, D.C.: proposed NFL venue at the RFK Stadium

In addition, there were several other U.S. venues listed as possibilities for the 48-nation tournament, including three that are hosting matches in next summer's competition (Boston, Philadelphia and Santa Clara).

Along with the U.S. venues, there are four listed in the plan from Mexico, including Guadalajara, Mexico City, Monterrey and Torreón. As for Jamaica and Costa Rica, only their respective capitals are involved in the proposal.

FIFA will formally confirm the bids at its congress on April 30. However, officials will make decisions on host cities for the illustrious competition in several years.

The United States has hosted one men's World Cup, with another to come next year. This will be the third Women's World Cup the U.S. has hosted. The first was the record-setting 1999 event, while the 2003 tournament was moved to the U.S. at the last minute due to a SARS outbreak in host country China.

Mexico has never hosted a Women's World Cup, and will host its third men's World Cup next year alongside the United States and Canada.

Jamaica and Costa Rica have never hosted a World Cup, men's or women's.
