The 9th FIFA Women’s World Cup marks some changes to the tournament: the number of teams grew from 24 to 32, and two countries will host this year’s competition: Australia and New Zealand.
This year’s Cup kicks off an interesting trend—the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be split among three host countries, and the 2027 Cup has already received multiple joint-country bids.
We’ve updated our World Cup Dashboard to include the Women’s World Cup historical data. The default filter for this dashboard is women’s historical data, but you can still view men’s data by selecting that as the “event.” You can also view all the data together by removing the filter.
