- Andrew Giuliani, executive director of the White House’s World Cup Task Force, claims Fifa has already informed Donald Trump that the US will host the 2031 Women’s World Cup.
- This announcement precedes Fifa's formal awarding of hosting rights, with a joint bid from the US, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jamaica currently the only contender.
- The official decision regarding the hosts for the 2031 and 2035 Women’s World Cups is expected to be made by Fifa's member associations at an extraordinary congress later this year.
- Giuliani indicated that US agreement to host the tournament would be contingent on Fifa adopting a policy that excludes transgender women from participating.
- This condition aligns with the Trump administration's domestic policy on transgender athletes, which contrasts with Fifa's current approach to eligibility.
