Australia secure spot at the 2027 Women's World Cup | OneFootball

Australia became the first team to qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2027, which will be held in Brazil. The Matildas secured their spot by defeating North Korea 2-1 and advancing to the semifinals of the AFC Women's Asian Cup 2026, a tournament that serves as a qualifier for the World Cup.

Qualification comes with campaign in Asia

Co-host and semifinalist of the 2023 edition, Australia confirmed its presence in its ninth consecutive Women's World Cup. The recent victory not only ensured early qualification but also the first of the six direct spots allocated to Asia for the 2027 tournament.

The Women's Asian Cup determines all automatic spots from the continent. The four semifinalist teams secure their place in the World Cup, while the teams eliminated in the quarterfinals still compete for two remaining spots in a continental playoff tournament.

2027 World Cup will be in Brazil

The 2027 edition will be the tenth in the history of the FIFA Women's World Cup, featuring 32 teams and taking place from June 24 to July 25. It will be the first time the tournament is held in Brazil and also in South America.

The Asian Football Confederation could still have up to eight representatives in the competition, considering the direct spots and the international playoff organized by FIFA at the end of this year.
