Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands are applying to host the Women’s World Cup together in 2027. fussball.news explains why the award to the three nations would be good for our country.
A women’s soccer world championship took place in Germany as early as 2011. The venues were the stadiums of the Bundesliga clubs FC Augsburg, Hertha BSC, VfL Bochum, Dynamo Dresden, Eintracht Frankfurt., Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Borussia Mönchengladbach, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and VfL Wolfsburg. The arenas in particular, such as those in Augsburg, Bochum or Dresden, are rarely considered in international men’s competitions, so a little global flair would be good for the cities both in terms of organization and tourism.
Commitment of the Bundesliga clubs
The professional men’s clubs, which are investing more and more money and effort in women’s football, also show that women’s football can be attractive. In the 2011/12 season, five Bundesliga teams started with a women’s team in the top national division. In the current season there are seven Bundesliga clubs: FC Bayern Munich, VfL Wolfsburg, Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayer 04 Leverkusen, SC Freiburg, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen Flyeralarm Women’s Bundesliga represented. Other teams play under-class, Borussia Dortmund, for example, wants to join the girls next year.
Increasing membership
A world championship also increases national and international interest among youngsters. In 2011, the German Football Association reported a total of 720,407 female members, the last figure for 2020 was 821,920. An event in your own country and beyond the borders of the Netherlands and Belgium could arouse further interest.
