The Football Associations of the four UK nations have submitted their official joint bid to host the 2035 FIFA Women’s World Cup, which will be the biggest single-sport event ever staged in the British Isles.

It will be just the second World Cup ever hosted in England, following the men’s tournament in 1966 which the host nation won. England also hosted the 2021 Women’s Euros, delayed to 2022 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which was won by the Lionesses.
