"Personally, I want to bring a women's event here that would be really meaningful to me, Janmohamed said after Monday morning's news conference passing the Super Bowl torch to next year's host, Los Angeles. We'll see how that goes, but we saw what happened this week when an event comes into this market. This place is awesome in hosting an event."
"The innovation, the strength that you all have, the diversity, the creativity, the can-do atmosphere showed itself incredibly well this week, Goodell said, crediting the mayors of San Jose and San Francisco, 49ers executives Jed York and Al Guido, as well as Janmohamed. She just pulled it all together. This is a very complicated event, and she did it. So we are eternally grateful to her."
Zaileen Janmohamed and the Bay Area Host Committee submitted Levi's Stadium and Oracle Park as proposed venues in the U.S. bid for the 2031 Women's World Cup. FIFA officials visited the region during Super Bowl week while events were staged across San Francisco, the East Bay and Silicon Valley. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell praised the region's innovation, diversity and can-do atmosphere and credited local leaders and 49ers executives for coordinating the complex event. The 49ers reported about $500 million in regional economic impact, more than 100,000 hotel room nights and nearly $10 million in community donations.
