UK Secures Sole Bid for 2035 Women's World Cup
The UK has emerged as the only valid contender to host the 2035 Women's World Cup, according to FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
The United Kingdom, comprising England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, has submitted a joint bid for the 2035 Women's World Cup, marking the only valid proposal received as the deadline for bids passed. FIFA rotation rules dictate that the event should occur in Europe or Africa, positioning the UK as a favorable host. Infantino confirmed in Belgrade that the UK bid stands alongside a confirmed bid from the United States for the 2031 iteration of the tournament. The Football Association (FA) has expressed its honor in being the sole bidder and now focuses on refining its proposal by the end of the year. A formal decision on the host nations is expected during a FIFA congress in 2026, with the upcoming tournament in 2031 expanding to accommodate 48 teams.
