FIFA has announced the United States will host the inaugural Women’s Club World Cup in 2028. This new tournament, scheduled every four years from January 5-30, 2028, will feature 19 top women’s club teams from all six confederations. Sarai Bareman, FIFA’s chief women’s football officer, stated the U.S. was chosen due to its proven success in staging major FIFA events like the 2025 Men’s Club World Cup and the 2026 World Cup, coupled with significant interest in women’s football and elite sporting infrastructure. Seven clubs have already qualified: Arsenal, Club America, Barcelona, Gotham FC, Naegohyang Women’s FC, SC Corinthians, and Wuhan Jiangda WFC. Additionally, FIFA’s Bureau of Council approved a $2.5 million preparation fund for each participating member association in the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil, matching the men’s World Cup distribution.
