"England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have lodged an unopposed bid to co-host the 2035 Women's World Cup. Twenty-two venues have been included as part of the bid, with 16 of those in England and six from across the other three nations. That includes Old Trafford, which is set to be redeveloped, and the proposed new Birmingham City stadium. Windsor Park, which was set to be a venue for the men's Euro 2028, but was ultimately not included."
"A joint statement from the CEOs of The FA, Irish FA, Scottish FA and FA of Wales said: "A Women's World Cup in the UK has the power to turbo charge the women's and girls' game both in the UK and globally. "Our bid also demonstrates our commitment to leaving a lasting legacy, in the run up to 2035, and the years afterwards.""
England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have lodged an unopposed joint bid to co-host the 2035 Women's World Cup. The proposal lists 22 venues, with 16 in England and six across the other three nations. Proposed venues include Old Trafford (planned redevelopment), the proposed new Birmingham City stadium, Wembley (likely final host if ratified by FIFA) and Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium. Windsor Park was considered for Euro 2028 but was not included. The Football Associations state the tournament could turbo-charge the women's and girls' game and commit to leaving a lasting legacy in the run-up to 2035 and beyond. From 2031 the tournament will expand to 48 teams; England enter as two-time reigning European champions and 2023 runners-up.
