Seattle could host matches for 2031 Women's World Cup, per FIFA report

Summary

FIFA has included Seattle among twenty potential host cities for the 2031 Women's World Cup, as detailed in a recent bid evaluation report. The report notes Lumen Field’s suitability following its use in the 2026 World Cup, where it hosted six matches. Seattle's strong accommodation ratings and transport connections enhance its bid, although the stadium would need to make further adjustments, including changing its synthetic turf to natural grass. The FIFA Congress will officially appoint the tournament's host on November 23, 2026.
