00:00 And we go to Brazil, where President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva reinforced the intention
00:05 to host the next Women's World Cup in the country in the year 2027.
00:10 The Brazilian president authorized the creation of a working group to coordinate the bidding
00:15 action and guaranteed the fulfillment of the FIFA's requirement for the country's bidding
00:21 to host the World Cup.
00:22 The governor insisted on the need for coordination by the ministers of sports, André Fufuca,
00:28 with the FIFA to host the event.
00:32 In addition to Brazil, the world football ruling body announced that the United States
00:37 and Mexico partnered a partnership bid and another joint option involving Germany, Belgium
00:44 and the Netherlands.
00:45 Let's remember that Brazil hosted the Men's World Cup in 2014, which was won by Germany.
01:04 And FIFA's Women's World Cup is the most important international women's football tournament
01:09 at the national team level in the world.
01:12 Due to the progress of women's football experience mainly during the 1980s and the
01:17 1990s, FIFA decided to organize the first edition of women's version in 1991 in the
01:24 People's Republic of China.
01:27 Brazil's bid to host the World Cup makes a lot of sense because so far nine World Cups
01:32 have been organized and none of them have been hosted in Latin America.
01:36 It is worth mentioning that the American continent hosted the Cup three times, United States
01:42 twice and once was held in Canada.
01:45 In the nine editions of the tournament, only five countries have lifted the trophy, with
01:50 the United States being the most successful team with four titles.
01:54 Germany followed with two trophies, while Norway, Japan and Spain have been proclaimed
01:59 champions on only one occasion.
02:01 Regarding the Brazilian candidacy, this nation has the best performance in Latin America,
02:06 with a second place in 2007.
