Brazil will bid to host the 2027 Women's World Cup, the South American nation's sports ministry said Tuesday.

The ministry said on Twitter that the country's bid "is being constructed by the government and sports bodies," including the Brazilian soccer confederation.

Both Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo mayors have expressed interest in having their cities host the final if Brazil wins the bid.

A joint bid of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany as well as another of South Africa are also in contention. Soccer executives in the United States have recently said they're considering a bid to host the tournament either in 2027 or 2031.
