SAFA bidding to be part of historic 2027 World Cup

FIFA has confirmed host for the 2027 women’s World Cup will be announced in May next year, and South Africa are getting their ducks in a row as one of the potential candidates.

SAFA president Danny Jordaan says the infrastructure is already in place on the back of successfully staging the 2010 men’s World Cup.

The good thing for us is that we had the 32 nations men’s World Cup

“I think the women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand will bring change in women’s football globally

On the basis that the 2019 women’s World Cup in France was 24 nations, this is the first 32 nations women’s World Cup,” he added.

Now, you know that if you go to the 2019 World Cup in France, the price money for the United States winning the World Cup was 4 million USD

2018 was the men’s World Cup in Russia, the price money in Russia was 40 million USD,” he concluded.
