Home Nations Become Sole Bidder For FIFA Womens' World Cup 2035


The football associations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have been confirmed by FIFA as the sole bidders to host the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2035.


At the beginning of March, the home nations collectively expressed interest in the United Kingdom hosting the tournament following the FIFA Council’s recommendation that the 2035 tournament is hosted in Europe or in Africa.


Earlier today, FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced that the home nations had submitted the only declaration of interest to stage the event.


Our chief executive, Mark Bullingham, said: “We are honoured to be the sole bidder for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2035."


“Hosting England's first FIFA World Cup since 1966, along with our home nations partners, will be very special. The hard work starts now, to put together the best possible bid by the end of the year.”

Speaking at the UEFA Congress in Belgrade, Infantino had said: “I can confirm that, as part of the bidding process, we received one bid for 2031 and one valid bid for 2035. The 2035 bid is from Europe from the Home Nations."


“The path is there for the Women’s World Cup to be taking place in 2031 and 2035 with some great countries in some great nations to boost even more the women’s football movement.”


As well as the 12th edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, the UK will also stage the men's UEFA European Championship in 2028.
