Brazil has withdrawn its candidacy to host the 2023 Women’s World Cup, with the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) saying the government did not consider it wise to offer financial guarantees in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. Brazil will instead join the other South American nations and "support Colombia in the dispute to host" the tournament, the organisation said.
