Women’s football is growing faster than ever, pulling in huge crowds, big talent, and global attention. Now, a major announcement has added to the excitement. The United Kingdom is set to host the 2035 Women’s World Cup, bringing the world’s biggest women’s football tournament back to the home of the modern game. This decision marks a historic moment for women’s sport and football fans across the UK.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has confirmed that the United Kingdom is the sole valid bidder to host the 2035 Women’s World Cup. England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland submitted a joint expression of interest in March, proposing that matches be held across all four home nations.
Why is this important?
Hosting the Women’s World Cup is a huge boost for:
- Women’s football development
- Young girls dreaming of playing professionally
- Stadiums, cities, and local communities
It also highlights how far women’s football has come, with more investment, visibility, and respect than ever before.
What about future World Cups?
Before 2035, the 2031 Women’s World Cup will be hosted by the United States. By then, the tournament will grow even bigger, with 48 teams competing, up from 32 teams at the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. This expansion means more countries, more players, and more unforgettable matches.
Why the United Kingdom?
The UK has a deep football history, world-class stadiums, and passionate fans. Hosting the tournament across all four nations also shows unity and gives more regions a chance to be part of a global sporting moment.
