Inter Miami's Nu Stadium to stage FIFA Women's Champions Cup 2027 final phase

The second Women's Champions Cup, an intercontinental competition for club teams, is set to conclude at Miami's Nu Stadium in late January, FIFA announced on Sunday. The final round, which includes teams from CONCACAF, UEFA, and CONMEBOL, will take place at Inter Miami's Nu Stadium. No U.S. women's club has yet been selected for the competition.

Club America from Mexico and Barcelona from Spain have qualified as representatives for their respective confederations. The winner of the Copa Libertadores Femenina, a knockout competition in South America, will also compete in the final round. FIFA's Chief Football Officer, Jill Ellis, stated that the choice of Miami was due to the city's support for soccer and the suitable size of Nu Stadium, which can seat 26,700 spectators.

The tournament aims to provide greater global competition opportunities for women's professional club teams and stimulate the growth of clubs and leagues.
