In a historic move, England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland have come together to submit a joint bid to host the Women's World Cup in 2035. If successful, it would be the largest single-sport event ever hosted in the UK since 1966, when England famously secured its first and only World Cup victory.

The ambitious bid features plans for 22 stadiums across 16 cities, including 16 venues in England, three in Wales, two in Scotland, and one in Northern Ireland. The announcement comes after FIFA President Gianni Infantino noted the UK's bid as a leading contender in a statement made in April.

The proposed tournament would involve 104 matches, contested by 48 teams over a span of 39 days. The comprehensive plan also details 48 team base camp training sites, 82 venue-specific training sites, and 32 fan festival sites, promising a vibrant and engaging event for fans worldwide.
