UK to Host the 2035 Women’s World Cup: A Historic Milestone for Women’s Sports
The United Kingdom's joint bid triumphs as FIFA confirms it will host the prestigious tournament.
The United Kingdom is set to make history by hosting the 2035 Women’s World Cup, as FIFA announced it was the only valid bid submitted for the tournament. In March of this year, Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland united to present a joint proposal to FIFA, aligning their commitment to promoting women’s sports. FIFA had previously indicated that the next Women’s World Cup must occur in either Europe or Africa.
While there were rumors surrounding a potential joint bid from Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed that only the UK bid met their requirements, clarifying the decision to bring the tournament to the UK.
As excitement builds for the upcoming women's football events, the United States is poised to host the 2031 Women’s World Cup. Infantino highlighted the expanding landscape of women’s football, stating, "The path is there for the Women's World Cup in 2031 and 2035 to take place in some great nations and further boost the women's football movement."
In a significant expansion of the tournament's format, the 2031 World Cup will feature 48 teams, an increase from the 32 teams competing in the 2027 edition in Brazil. With these developments, both the UK and the United States are set to play pivotal roles in further professionalizing and elevating the women's game on a global scale.
