“As part of the bidding process, we received one bid for ‘31… from the United States of America.” These words from FIFA President Gianni Infantino were music to the ears of the entire U.S. After all, hosting such a major tournament—that too, for the third time—is nothing but great news for the nation. Yet, uncertainty still surrounds the process and whether the four-time World Champions will actually have the honor of hosting. Fortunately, U.S. Soccer Federation President Cindy Parlow Cone had some crucial updates to share.
Ever since news of the potential U.S. bid for the 2031 Women’s World Cup emerged earlier in April, there hasn’t been any significant update. While it’s true that these things take time — especially with the tournament still years away — much of America is already picturing the nation as the future host.
So, even though the U.S. remains the sole bidder, RE—INC podcast hosts Tobin Heath and Christen Press didn’t hesitate to bluntly ask Cindy Parlow Cone for assurance that things wouldn’t take an unexpected turn. And vocally, Parlow Cone had a clear response when asked if the U.S. would get the 2031 World Cup, confidently saying, “Yes. In my brain, yes,” during their latest discussion.
