ZURICH — FIFA has set a timeline to pick the 2027 Women's World Cup host. It gives would-be candidates one month to join the contest with a vote in May next year. Brazil, South Africa and a co-hosting project by Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany have said they want to bid. FIFA says its 37-member ruling council will select up to three bids for a vote by more than 200 member federations. FIFA set an April 21 deadline for member federations to register interest in bidding. The decision is at the FIFA Congress on May 17 next year. No venue was yet announced. The 2023 Women's World Cup is in Australia and New Zealand.
