Wembley and a new Manchester United stadium could be crown jewels in the 2035 Women’s World Cup after Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president, announced the United Kingdom had a clear run at hosting the tournament.
Infantino confirmed there were no other bidders for the tournament, meaning a football World Cup will take place on British shores for the first time since 1966. The Football Association expects Wembley to host the final, although Fifa will have ultimate signoff. United’s planned new home, which is mooted to have a capacity of 100,000, may also play a focal part if the venue has been completed according to projections.
