The United Kingdom is gearing up to host the highly anticipated 2035 Women's World Cup, marking a significant moment in the world of women's football. FIFA, the global governing body for the sport, has declared the UK's joint bid from Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland as the only valid submission. This decision follows a series of discussions about a potential bid from Spain, Portugal, and Morocco, which FIFA president Gianni Infantino stated was not accepted.
The choice of location comes as FIFA aims to spotlight women's football and bring major tournaments to Europe or Africa. Infantino expressed enthusiasm about the future of women's football, highlighting the upcoming Women's World Cups, with the US set to host the 2031 tournament, expanding participation to 48 teams, up from 32 in the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
This commitment not only promises thrilling matches but also reinforces the growing support and recognition for women's football globally. With several nations, including the UK, taking the lead, the future looks bright for female athletes in the sport!
