The United States Soccer Federation (USSF) said Wednesday it will press ahead with a joint bid for the 2031 Women's World Cup after a FIFA decision boosted the CONCACAF region's chances of staging the tournament. The USSF said in a brief statement on social media that it planned to "complete the bid process to host the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup" in partnership with the CONCACAF regional federation and its members. "We are excited by the opportunity to welcome teams and fans, inspire the next generation and grow the game regionally and globally," the US federation said.

"I got ill two out of three weeks which isn't great. But I wanted to go on clay. I wanted to play that swing. I've heard so many great things about it, so I wanted to experience it once."
