UK set to host 2035 Women's World Cup

Spain won the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand

The United Kingdom is set to host the 2035 Women's World Cup after being the only valid bid received by Fifa, the organisation that runs international football.

Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland put forward a joint bid in March.

Fifa has already stated that the tournament must be in Europe or Africa.

There was a suggestion that Spain alongside Portugal and Morocco might be putting a bid forward, but Fifa president Gianni Infantino said the UK's was the only valid one received.

Meanwhile, the United States are set to host the 2031 Women's World Cup.

"The path is there for the Women's World Cup in 2031 and 2035 to take place in some great nations and further boost the women's football movement," Gianni Infantino said.

In 2031, 48 teams are due to compete up from the 32 teams competing in the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
