The Philippines has won the bid and gets the chance to host the tournament. On May 14, 2024, FIFA gave the green light and announced the Philippines as the host.

This will be the first time that the Philippines will host a FIFA event. The last FIFA Women’s event that happened in Asia was in 2004. Italy, Brazil, and Spain also gave their bid.
