The Lionesses have to wait four years for their next shot at winning the trophy
England's hopes of getting their hands on the Women's World Cup trophy have been crushed following Spain's victory in today's final held in Australia. While it wasn't meant to be this year, England fans will be hoping that the next tournament will give the Lionesses another chance to bring it home.
This year, Australia and New Zealand co-hosted the event, with matches split between the two countries ahead of the final kicking off in Sydney on Sunday night. Millions of England fans tuned in to cheer on the Lionesses from 11am this morning, with big screens put up across the country to bring fans together.The host nation for the 2027 World Cup, which will be the tenth edition, has not yet been decided - but it could be much much closer to home.
Member associations will officially submit their bids in December, but the winning nation will not be decided until May next year, so we have a while to wait before we know where the action will be taking place. The tournament will involve 32 national teams in total, including that of the host nation.
