All 10 bidders have received the overview of the bidding process (including updated high-level hosting requirements) and will have until September 2 to confirm their participation.
Up until the deadline for bid submissions, any member association wishing to join an existing bid will be permitted to do so provided that it also submits a bidding registration to Fifa.
After the September 2 deadline, the following milestones have been defined:
September 3: Fifa to dispatch the bidding and hosting documents (including updated detailed hosting requirements) to bidding member associations
December 13: submission of the bid book, the signed hosting agreement and all other hosting and bidding documents to Fifa
January/February 2020: expected official inspection visits by Fifa
May 2020: expected appointment date of the host(s) by Fifa
As was the case for the Women’s World Cup 2019 bidding, Fifa will implement a fair and transparent process, which will include a clear evaluation model as well as a concrete commitment to sustainability and human rights.
