The United Kingdom is set to host the 2035 Women's World Cup after being the only valid bid received by FIFA, the governing body of international football. In March, Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland submitted a joint proposal, positioning themselves as the hosts. Although there was talk of a potential bid from Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, FIFA President Gianni Infantino declared the UK's bid as the sole valid entry. FIFA has previously stated that the tournament should occur in Europe or Africa to promote women's football. The United States is also gearing up to host the 2031 Women's World Cup, further enhancing global interest in the sport. Infantino highlighted that the planned tournaments will contribute significantly to the growth of women's football, noting that the 2031 event will feature 48 competing teams, an increase from the 32 teams slated for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
