16 national teams will play 48 matches in eight days in Poland, 5–12 September 2027
The World Amputee Football Federation (WAFF) confirms that Kraków, Poland, will host the second WAFF Women’s Amputee Football World Cup from 5 to 12 September 2027.
The joint bid from the City of Kraków and the Polish Amputee Football Association was selected ahead of bids from São Paulo, Brazil, and Kigali, Rwanda. The WAFF host-selection committee recommended Kraków unanimously, following a review of the bid documents and an inspection visit in June 2026.
“Kraków made a huge impression on us,” said Ashley Reid, member of the WAFF host-selection committee. “We saw not only excellent facilities, but above all the commitment of the people behind this project. That energy, hospitality and belief in the growth of women’s amputee football make Kraków the right place for this tournament.”
16 Nations – 48 Matches – Three Venues
Depending on the number of interested countries, teams will take part either by invitation or through a qualification system organised by WAFF. WAFF has already invited its member associations to register their interest. The teams will be drawn into four groups and play 48 matches at three Kraków venues: the Cracovia stadium, Garbarnia and Prądniczanka. The deciding matches will be played at the Cracovia stadium.
