FIFA announced that the results will be announced on May 17 at the 74th FIFA Congress set to be held in Bangkok, Thailand. Only two bids remain open in the process, a joint bid from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, and a sole bid from Brazil, who held the Men's World Cup in 1950 and 2014. A bid from South Africa and a joint bid from the United States and Mexico were also in the running before they both pulled out to focus on the 2031 edition of the Women's World Cup.
