The United Kingdom’s application to host the 2035 Women’s World Cup includes 22 stadiums, including Manchester United’s proposed New Old Trafford, organizers said on Friday.
Even though Old Trafford’s makeover is still in the planning stages and it was passed over for the 2028 men’s European Championship, if work doesn’t proceed, the venue will still be considered for the competition in its existing configuration.
There is presently no resistance to the united bid from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and it may be formally approved during a FIFA congress in 2026.
Wembley, which is widely anticipated to host the final, and Birmingham City’s projected new stadium are two more locations that will be featured. After England hosted the 1966 men’s tournament, the 2035 competition would only be the second World Cup to be staged in the United Kingdom if it is successful.
Twenty-two stadiums in all—sixteen in England, three in Wales, two in Scotland, and one in Northern Ireland—were confirmed.
