UK set to host 2035 Women’s World Cup as FIFA confirms sole bid. The joint bid from England, Scotland, Wales & NI stands uncontested, marking a major milestone for women’s football. Final approval pending, but preparations for a historic event are underway.
The United Kingdom is on track to host the 2035 Women’s World Cup after FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed that the joint bid from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland is the only "valid" submission for the tournament.
Speaking at the UEFA Congress in Belgrade on Thursday, Infantino revealed that FIFA had received only one bid for both the 2031 and 2035 editions. "The 2035 bid is from Europe, from the home nations," he stated, all but confirming the UK’s selection as host.
Initially, Morocco, Spain, and Portugal had expressed interest in the tournament, but with their withdrawal, the UK bid remains uncontested.
The news marks a major milestone for women's football in the UK, which has seen growing investment and popularity in recent years. The 2027 Women’s World Cup will be hosted by Brazil, making the 2035 edition a significant return of the tournament to Europe.
With final confirmation pending from FIFA, UK football associations are expected to begin preparations to deliver a historic and highly anticipated World Cup on home soil.
