"We felt it in the Olympics in 2012, that exposure, that amazing sense of togetherness, she said. The whole worldwide captivation was really special. Seeing all the different nations, the cultures, the diversity, the inclusivity, was really special to be involved with. The fact that it's a World Cup [means] it is worldwide and all eyes will be on us and people will want to come and be a part of it."
"Among the 22 stadiums proposed as potential host venues for a tournament eight times bigger than the 2022 Euros are some undergoing redevelopment and the proposed new stadiums of Birmingham City and Manchester United. Any new Chelsea stadium would also come into consideration, as would Stamford Bridge and Wrexham's stadium if redeveloped to meet Fifa requirements. Sixteen of the stadiums are in England, three are in Wales, two are in Scotland and one is in Northern Ireland."
England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have submitted a joint bid to host the 2035 Women's World Cup as the largest single-sport event staged in the UK. The plan proposes 22 stadiums across 15 host cities, with sixteen venues in England, three in Wales, two in Scotland and one in Northern Ireland. Proposed sites include redeveloped grounds and new stadiums for Birmingham City and Manchester United, with potential consideration of a new Chelsea stadium, Stamford Bridge and a redeveloped Wrexham stadium meeting FIFA requirements. The bid highlights that 63 million people live within two hours of a proposed venue and emphasizes nationwide exposure and inclusivity, compared to the 2012 Olympics by Ellen White.
