This dialogue will focus on the defined priority areas of the event vision and key metrics, infrastructure, services, commercial, and sustainability and human rights.
The submission of bids is scheduled for July 2024 and, following a thorough evaluation process, FIFA will publish its evaluation reports. Should the requirements be met, the member associations gathered at the FIFA Congress will take a decision on the appointment of the hosts of the respective competitions.
