The United States is poised to host the first-ever Women’s Club World Cup in January 2028, marking a significant milestone in women’s soccer. This 19-team tournament is currently in advanced planning stages, with Los Angeles and San Diego emerging as potential host cities. Although discussions are ongoing, a final agreement has yet to be finalized.
This inaugural event is strategically scheduled to occur between two major international sporting events: the 2027 Women’s World Cup and the 2028 Olympic Games. FIFA sees this tournament as an opportunity to evaluate various logistical aspects, such as stadium suitability and ticket demand, ahead of the 2031 Women’s World Cup.
The anticipated kick-off date for the Women’s Club World Cup is January 5, 2028. As preparations continue, FIFA is expected to conclude the hosting arrangements soon, ensuring the tournament aligns with broader goals for women’s soccer development and infrastructure evaluation.
