The 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup will be the 8th edition of the FIFA Women's World Cup, the quadrennial international women's football championship contested by the national teams of the member associations of FIFA. In March 2015, France won the right to host the event, the first time the country would host the tournament and the third time in Europe. Matches are planned for eleven cities across France. The current format of the tournament is to be among 24 national teams, including that of the host nation. The defending champions are the United States. ==Host selection== On 6 March 2014, FIFA announced that bidding had begun for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. Member associations interested in hosting the tournament had to submit a declaration of interest by 15 April 2014, and provide the complete set of bidding documents by 31 October 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bidding process opened for eight FIFA competitions )〕 In principle, FIFA prefer the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup and the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup to be hosted by the same member association, but if circumstances require, FIFA reserves the right to award the hosting of the events separately. Initially, five countries indicated interest in hosting the events: England, France, Korea Republic, New Zealand and South Africa. However, the number of bidding nations was narrowed down to two in October 2014, when the French Football Federation and Korea Football Association submitted their official bid documents to FIFA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fifa.com/womensworldcup/news/y=2015/m=3/news=france-to-host-the-fifa-women-s-world-cup-in-2019-2567761.html )〕 Both The Football Association and New Zealand Football registered expressions of interest by the April 2014 deadline,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FA consider hosting 2019 women's World Cup in England )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New Zealand express interest in host role )〕 but in June 2014 it was announced that each would no longer proceed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NZF not progressing women's cup bid )〕 The South African Football Association registered an expression of interest by the April 2014 deadline,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=South Africa will bid to host 2019 Women's World Cup )〕 however later decided to withdraw prior to the final October deadline.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/sports/summer/football/732-world-cup/1023549-france-and-south-korea-submit-bids-for-2019-fifa-women-s-world-cup )〕 Both Japan Football Association and the Swedish Football Association had also expressed interest in bidding for the 2019 tournament, however Japan chose to focus on the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the 2020 Summer Olympics, whilst Sweden decided to focus on European U-17 competitions instead.
