U.S. Soccer had applied for the 2027 tournament a few years ago, but withdrew to focus on the 2031 bid.
At the time, Atlanta had been on the list of cities for consideration. U.S. Soccer is in the process of building its new headquarters in Fayette County.
Officials plan to have the headquarters finished by the time Atlanta hosts the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup.
