FIFA to make public vote for 2023 Women's WC

March 18, 2019 00:00:00


MIAMI, Mar 17 (AP): FIFA has agreed to make public its vote on the host for the 2023 Women's World Cup.

The organisation's decision-making body is becoming more transparent after concerns were raised last month that the women's tournament wouldn't fully follow the new voting process for the men's World Cup.

The United States, Canada and Mexico were chosen last year to host the 2026 World Cup.

Previously, the decisions were taken in private by the scandal-discredited FIFA executive committee, which was renamed the FIFA Council in 2016.

But FIFA announced last month that its 37-person council would still decide on the destination of the 2023 Women's World Cup, with no mention of votes being publicly declared.
