ZURICH: The FIFA Council has unanimously agreed to a proposal to expand the number of teams taking part in the Women’s World Cup from 24 to 32, with effect as of the next edition of the tournament in 2023.
Since the bidding process for the Women's World Cup 2023 is already underway − with the nine bidders initially expected to submit their bid books by 4 October – the council exceptionally made this decision remotely, and not at one of its meetings, the next of which is scheduled for 23-24 October in Shanghai.
