The United Kingdom is intended to host 2035 women’s World Cup after presenting only a “valid” offer

The CEO of the FA Mark Bullingham said: “We are honored to be the only bidder for the FIFA 2035 women’s Cup. The hard work begins to put together the best possible offer by the end of the year”.

The CEO of Scottish FAs Ian Maxwell said: “We can’t wait to work together to finalize our proposal and lay the foundations for a tournament that will excite football fans all over the world and will inspire girls and women throughout Scotland”.

Patrick Nelson, CEO of Irish Fa, said: “There is still a lot of work to be done together with our partners to bring together everything, however this will be a brilliant opportunity to show the world what the Northern Ireland and Belfast have to offer”.

Noel Mooney, CEO of the Welsh Fa, said: “With our first participation ever in the euro as a woman coming this summer and the hosting of the main female finals that arrive in Cymru (Wales), we are on an incredible journey, so we must take advantage of this to inspire the next generation of players, volunteers and supporters”.

The director of women in England Sarina Wiegman said: “We know from the experience of the euros (in 2022) how big the game is already here and what the momentum did in the country.

“Another tournament on an even larger stage would be incredible and give another impulse to the game.”

Formal offers for the 2035 World Cup must be presented this winter, with a vote that takes place to confirm the guests in a FIFA congress in 2026.

Infantino has also confirmed that the 2031 women’s World Cup will be a 48 -team tournament, compared to 32 of 2027.

If the United Kingdom offer were confirmed, the 2035 female World Cup will be the second time that a World Cup will be held in the home nations after the 1966 male tournament in England.
