Women's World Cup 2035: New Old Trafford Stadium on List of Host Venues
- On Friday, the soccer federations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland submitted a joint bid to FIFA listing 22 venues for the 2035 Women's World Cup, planned for English soil.
- After the Lionesses retained the trophy this year, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said `Our bid to host the 2035 FIFA Women's World Cup shows the UK's passion for football`, and the federations highlighted 4.5 million tickets available.
- Also included are redeveloped or yet-to-be-built grounds such as a redeveloped Wrexham Racecourse Ground, Birmingham City's Powerhouse Stadium, and Manchester United's stadium costing around 2 billion pounds.
- The bid now moves into a re-evaluation phase as the 22 proposed stadia are expected to be reduced to 16 with final selection confirmed in 2029, and ratification set for the end of April next year.
- The bid follows the U.K. and Ireland's joint-staging of the 2028 men's Euros, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino indicating the U.K. was the only valid bidder and the last World Cup held in 1966.
