NEW YORK, United States (AFP) — United States football officials on Monday confirmed that Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica have joined its bid for the 2031 Women’s World Cup.

The United States had already been announced by FIFA President Gianni Infantino as the sole bid for the expanded to 48 teams tournament. At a formal launch for the bid in New York, US officials said Concacaf members Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica will also stage games in the tournament. It confirms a Jamaica Observer report earlier this month that the island will possibly host matches at the global showpiece.

“We’re incredibly proud to be leading this bid for the 2031 Women’s World Cup alongside our Concacaf partners in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jamaica,” US Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone said in a statement. 

“Together, we have an extraordinary opportunity to host the biggest and most impactful Women’s World Cup in history.”
