England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have placed a joint bid to host the 2035 Women's World Cup, targeting it as the largest single-sport event in the UK since 1966. Twenty-two stadiums are proposed across 16 cities. The bid aims to capitalize on the growing popularity of women's football.

The UK is making a historic move by submitting a joint bid to host the Women's World Cup in 2035. This ambitious proposal from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland aims to create the largest single-sport event ever held in the nation since 1966.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino noted that the UK is the sole valid bidder for the finals, with the decision set for the FIFA Congress in Vancouver on April 30. The event aims to be highly accessible, as over 63 million residents live within two hours of a proposed venue.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer supports the bid, citing inspiration from the success of England's women's team. The bid aims to generate 4.5 million ticket sales and a TV audience of 3.5 billion, thus turbocharging the women's game both domestically and globally.
