The United Kingdom’s application to host the 2035 Women’s World Cup includes 22 stadiums, including Manchester United’s proposed New Old Trafford, the organizers said on Friday.
Even though Old Trafford’s redevelopment is still in the planning stages and it was passed over for the 2028 men’s European Championship, the venue will still be taken into consideration for the competition in its existing state if work does not proceed.
At a FIFA congress in 2026, the united bid from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland may be officially approved. As of right now, there is no resistance.
Wembley, which is widely anticipated to host the final, and Birmingham City’s projected new stadium are among the other locations that will be included. After England hosted the 1966 men’s event, the 2035 competition would only be the second World Cup to be staged in the United Kingdom.
Twenty-two stadiums in all were confirmed: one in Northern Ireland, three in Wales, two in Scotland, and sixteen in England.
