Fifa has received three bids to host the 2027 Women's World Cup.
The bids include a joint one from Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, who first announced their interest in hosting in October 2020.
The other two bids are from Brazil and a joint submission from Mexico and the United States.
South Africa had previously been named by Fifa among the prospective hosts but withdrew their bidexternal-link in November to focus on the 2031 tournament.
The winning bid will be decided by a vote at the Fifa congress in Bangkok on 17 May 2024.
Spain beat England in the final of the 2023 World Cup, held in Australia and New Zealand.
A statement from world football's governing body said: "As part of the most robust and comprehensive bidding process in the history of the Fifa Women's World Cup, Fifa will now conduct a thorough evaluation process, including on-site inspection visits."
Those visits are due to get under way in February, after which Fifa will publish its findings in a bid evaluation report in May.
The United States hosted the tournament in 1999 and 2003, but not as a joint bid, while Germany hosted it in 2011.
The US, Mexico and Canada will co-host the men's World Cup in 2026.
