The tournament will represent the first edition of what is expected to become a recurring championship for elite women's club teams.
Seven clubs have secured their participation in the January 2028 event, though FIFA did not immediately disclose their identities. The confirmation comes as the global football calendar continues to evolve, with increased emphasis on developing and promoting women's club competitions.
The United States, which has a well-established professional women's football league and a strong track record of hosting major sporting events, was selected as the venue for this inaugural tournament. The decision reflects FIFA's commitment to elevating women's club football and providing greater international exposure for top-tier female players.
Further details regarding additional participating teams, venue locations, and tournament format are expected to be announced in coming months as preparations advance for the 2028 competition.
