Revolution im Frauen-Fußball! Die Fifa hat bestätigt, dass bei der Frauen-WM 2031 erstmals 48 Teams statt 32 antreten werden. Die USA sind als Austragungsort im Gespräch, eine offizielle Entscheidung fällt 2026.
[–>Fifa-Präsident Gianni Infantino hatte bereits beim Uefa-Kongress in Belgrad Anfang April ein größeres Turnier in Aussicht gestellt. Dies hat der Fifa-Council jetzt offiziell beschlossen.
Infantino: „Es geht nicht nur darum, 16 weitere Mannschaften bei der Fifa Frauen-Weltmeisterschaft zu haben, sondern auch darum, die nächsten Schritte im Hinblick auf den Frauenfußball im Allgemeinen zu unternehmen. Wir möchten sicherstellen, dass mehr Fifa-Mitgliedsverbände von dem Turnier profitieren und ihre Frauen-Fußballstrukturen ganzheitlich weiterentwickeln können.“
Nun ist es also beschlossene Sache. Somit wird die WM 2031 in 12 Gruppen ausgetragen, statt 64 Spiele wird es dann 104 Partien geben. Zudem wird das Turnier eine Woche länger dauern.
Die Kabine weiß schon Bescheid: Arsenal buhlt um BVB-Star
Frauen-WM 2027 letztmals mit 32 Nationen
Erst zur Frauen-WM 2023 in Australien und Neuseeland wurde die Zahl der Teams bei der Endrunde von 24 auf 32 erhöht. Für die WM 2027 in Brasilien wird auf 32 Nationen aufgestockt. Vier Jahre später kommen also nochmal 16 Teams dazu.
Für die Frauen-WM 2031 hatte die Fifa erklärt, nur ein „gültiges Angebot“ erhalten zu haben. Die Bewerbung kommt aus den USA. Eine offizielle Entscheidung soll im Frühjahr 2026 gefällt werden.
JT Batson, CEO von U.S. Soccer: „Achtundvierzig Mannschaften sind etwas, für das wir uns leidenschaftlich eingesetzt haben. Wir glauben, dass dies für das Wachstum des Frauen-Fußballs unglaublich wichtig wäre.“
Und weiter: „Wir glauben also, dass dies zu unglaublichen Investitionen in den Frauen- und Mädchenfußball auf der ganzen Welt führen würde.“

AFC giants rumored to be watching Micah Parsons contract drama with Cowboys
As contract discussions between Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys continue to stir speculation, a surprising name has entered the conversation: the New England Patriots. A recent NESN report claims that the Patriots are "eyeing" Parsons' situation, potentially setting up a major trade push for the All-Pro linebacker.

Giants takeaways: Ugly week ends with ugly series loss to White Sox
It was just one week ago that the San Francisco Giants had momentum. They’d taken two games and an All-Star from the Boston Red Sox, and they were getting national attention for the right reasons. The ballpark energy was back. Strangers on the street were talking to you about your Giants hat. Remember that? Everyone being excited about the local ballclub?AdvertisementIt was seven days ago, but it might as well have been seven years ago. The Giants were embarrassed by the Miami Marlins and Chicago White Sox last week, getting outpitched and outhit by two teams that might combine for 200 losses this year. At no point did it look like the Giants were the better team. At only a couple of points did it look particularly close. They made two of the worst teams in baseball look like World […]
