UK City-County Alliance Makes Historic Bid to Host 2035 Women's Football World Cup

In a move that promises to bring together the nation, the UK has formally submitted its bid to host the 2035 Women's Football World Cup, with a whopping 22 potential stadiums and 15 cities on board. The ambitious plan aims to provide world-class footballing facilities, not just for the tournament but also to boost local economies.

England's Lionesses' star player Ellen White described the bid as "really special," drawing comparisons to her experience at the 2012 Olympics as part of Team GB. For White and millions more Britons, hosting a World Cup promises exposure on an unprecedented scale, fostering global recognition and cultural exchange.

The proposed host cities are spread across England (16 venues), Wales (3), Scotland (2), and Northern Ireland (1). Notably, some prominent football clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea have included their potential stadiums in the bid. Existing iconic stadia such as Stamford Bridge and Wrexham's stadium also feature, with redevelopment plans to make them meet FIFA requirements.

According to Football Association CEO Mark Bullingham, the sheer geographic spread of potential host cities will benefit a staggering 63 million people, bringing together communities from across Britain. By including some stadiums that have yet to be built, the UK is making a bold statement about its commitment to delivering world-class infrastructure in time for the tournament.

What's striking, however, is the stark contrast between this bid and England's experience with Euro 2022, where convincing several cities and stadia took more persuasion. Bullingham attributes this newfound enthusiasm to the growing popularity of women's football, noting that clubs and local councils have been eager to be part of the 2035 World Cup from the get-go.

With the UK joining an elite group of bidders for the 2031 tournament – a unique single-bid submitted by the United States, Mexico, Jamaica, and Costa Rica – the stage is set for a fierce competition. FIFA will release its bid book in full on Friday, paving the way for votes at the Fifa Congress in Vancouver on April 30, 2026.

As the countdown to the 2035 Women's Football World Cup begins, the UK's bold bid promises an exciting chapter in British football history – one that brings nations together and showcases the country's vibrant sporting spirit.
 
they should give it a go 😊. its about time we see some major investment in womens footy in this country. the lionesses have been killing it on the pitch, and now its time to bring the party to britain 🎉🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
 
OMG, I'm super excited about this 🤩! The fact that the UK is putting its money where its mouth is and proposing 22 stadiums across 15 cities is already making me jump for joy 😆. And can you imagine how epic it'll be to see all these iconic stadia get a revamp? I mean, Stamford Bridge has been there since 1877! 🙌

I'm also loving the vibe of Ellen White's comments - she's got such a good perspective on this. It's not just about the football, but about bringing the nation together and showcasing British culture to the world 🌎.

I wonder what'll happen when they find out who wins the bid? Will there be a huge party or something? 💃🏻🕺

Can we get some updates on how the bidding process works? How will FIFA decide which country gets the cup, and what's in it for them? 🤔
 
omg i'm low-key hyped about this 🤩 - it's about time we saw some major investment in women's football in the uk lol, remember when the l Lionesses were like "who are we?" back in the day? anywayz, i think 15+ cities across england wales scotland and northern ireland is a pretty big deal 🤯 - i mean, it's not just about the football, it's about bringing people together and creating some serious economic buzz 💸. i'm curious to see how this whole bid thing plays out tho 🤔
 
🤔 I gotta say, hosting a World Cup is not as easy as it seems. Like, have you seen all these cities they're proposing? 15 of them?! It's gonna be crazy trying to make sure everything is ready on time. And what about the cost? I heard it's like, billions of pounds or something 🤑. Plus, Ellen White saying it's "really special" just 'cause she played in the Olympics doesn't mean much. I mean, have you seen her stats in the actual league games?! 😂 Still, if it means women's football gets more exposure and all that jazz, then I'm down for it 👍
 
I think it's dope that they're going for this big thing! 🤩 I mean, hosting a World Cup is massive, and to have so many cities on board is impressive. It shows that everyone is behind the Lionesses and wanting to bring some glory to the country. And you know what's even better? That Ellen White is stoked about it - she must be feeling like a total boss! 💁‍♀️ I'm hoping we get to see some awesome football matches and maybe even inspire a few new generations of players 👟
 
so the uk is trying to be all high and mighty now 🙄 with its fancy stadium plans and whatnot... like it's gonna magically fix everything, especially after euro 2022 was such a disaster 😂 meanwhile, they're only including some stadiums that are already kinda old, so who knows how much actual renovation is gonna happen... and let's be real, we all know how these things go - the bid will probably be full of empty promises and unrealistic timelines 🤦‍♂️ at least we'll get to watch some decent footy in 2035, i guess 👀
 
I'm literally freaking out about this news 🤯... but like, for all the wrong reasons lol 😂. I mean, hosting a World Cup is always a big deal, but what if we mess it up again? Like, remember Euro 2022 and how we had to convince some cities and stadia to even participate? It's crazy that some people think we can just magic everything into place... but at the same time, I'm so hyped for this opportunity 🎉. It'll be awesome to see more women's football get the recognition it deserves, and I love that clubs like Manchester United are involved – who knows what kind of exposure they'll get from all the fuss? 🤔 But seriously though... 63 million people will benefit if we can pull this off, so that's gotta count for something 😊.
 
omg i just got a new phone 📱 and i'm still trying to figure out how to use the camera 😂 is it possible to edit videos on instagram? i mean, i've seen those funny edits on tiktok but how do they do that? 🤔 can someone pls explain to me how to make my own viral video? 🎥
 
I'm not sure if I buy all this hype 🤔. Last time England hosted a major tournament, Euro 2022, it was a disaster with some venues struggling to cope. Now they're expecting everything to be perfect for the women's World Cup? And what about the cost? The UK is already dealing with economic uncertainty, so how are they planning to foot the bill for all these stadiums and infrastructure upgrades? 🤑
 
omg this is insane a 22 stadium host cities its gonna be lit can u imagine watching lionesses play in front of like a billion ppl 💥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 but what if they change their minds at the last min 🤦‍♀️ and then were left with nothin 😩
 
the uk's women's football world cup bid is kinda mind-blowing 🤯! they're not just throwing their hat into the ring, they're really committing to it with 22 potential stadiums and 15 cities on board 💪. i'm loving how ellie white and other lionesses are getting behind this, it's a great vibe 👏. and can we talk about the fact that some big clubs like man utd and chelsea are included in the bid? it's like they're saying 'hey, we're all in this together' 🤝. and 63 million people will benefit from it? that's massive 🌎. fingers crossed they don't mess it up this time 😅.
 
man... hosting a world cup is like, whoa 🤯! i remember watching euro 2012 with my mates back home, we were all so stoked to see england make it to the final 😆. now, imagine having 15 cities across the uk and wales competing for it? that's just nuts! and the fact that lionesses' star player ellen white is excited about it too, takes me back to when she played for the england team at the olympics 🇬🇧... anywayz, i hope they get it, it'd be an epic opportunity for britain to shine on the global stage 💫.
 
I was just watching this crazy video of a cat playing the piano 🐈🎹 and I started thinking about how amazing it would be if they had stadiums like Wrexham's stadium but with cat cafes on the top level 🍵😸. Like, can you imagine sipping a latte while watching a match between England and Scotland? It sounds kinda weird but also kinda awesome 😊. Anyway, back to football... I'm curious what kind of games they'll have at the 2035 World Cup. Will there be any super cool augmented reality elements or VR experiences? That would take it to a whole new level 🤯.
 
I'm so over this stadium thing 🙄. Like, we already have enough venues, right? And now they're gonna build more just for a bunch of foreign tourists to come and play some footy? 😒 It's gonna be a huge financial burden on the UK and honestly, I don't think it's worth it. They should focus on improving our existing infrastructure instead of throwing money at new stadiums that might not even get used after the tournament is over 🤦‍♂️. And what about the environmental impact? All those new builds are just gonna add to the carbon footprint 🌎. Not impressed with this bid, if you ask me 😐.
 
It's fascinating to see the UK take a unified approach to hosting the 2035 Women's Football World Cup 🏆🇬🇧, with 22 potential stadiums and 15 cities on board - a truly impressive display of coordination. The fact that prominent football clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea have included their stadiums in the bid adds an extra layer of excitement. The geographic spread of potential host cities will indeed benefit a staggering 63 million people, fostering global recognition and cultural exchange 🌎.

It's also noteworthy to see how the UK has learned from its experience with Euro 2022, where convincing several cities and stadia took more persuasion. The growing popularity of women's football seems to have been a key factor in generating enthusiasm among clubs and local councils. Now, as the competition for the 2031 tournament heats up, it will be interesting to see how the UK's bid compares to other bidders 🤔.

The UK's bold bid promises an exciting chapter in British football history, one that brings nations together and showcases the country's vibrant sporting spirit ❤️. With the countdown to the 2035 Women's Football World Cup underway, I'm confident that the UK will put on a fantastic show 💪.
 
OMG, can't believe it 🤩! Finally, someone's giving women's football the recognition it deserves 🙌. I mean, think about it - 63 million people from across Britain are going to come together for this? That's mental 🤯! And all these iconic stadia getting a redevelopment? Game-changer 💪.

Glad to see clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea on board too... guess you could say they're stepping up their A-game 😂. But seriously, it's about time we saw some serious investment in women's football infrastructure. Ellen White said it all - this is really special 🎉. Bring it on, 2035! ⚽️
 
I'm so down for this! I mean, can you imagine a whole bunch of England stadiums hosting games with some serious international flair? It's gonna be lit 🏟️💥 and I'm not just saying that 'cause I love footy (although, yes, that's also true 😂). The fact that the Lionesses are getting all sorts of hype about this is amazing - they're already proof that women's football can bring people together, you know? It's time to give them the global stage they deserve and I'm stoked to see how it all goes down. Bring on 2035! 🎉
 
I'm not buying into all this hype just yet... 😐 22 potential stadiums across the UK? It's a bit excessive if you ask me. I mean, have they even considered the cost of building or renovating these massive facilities? And what about the actual quality of the venues? Will they be able to withstand the pressure of hosting such a high-profile event?

I'm also skeptical about the idea that this will boost local economies on its own. It's a big claim, especially considering the UK's history with Euro 2022. I'd love to see some concrete data on how much revenue the tournament is expected to generate before I get on board.

Still, I suppose it's a step in the right direction for women's football in the UK. The exposure and recognition could be huge benefits for the sport... but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet 🤔
 
OMG, can you even imagine how epic it's gonna be when the UK hosts the 2035 Women's Football World Cup? 🤩 I'm seriously hyped about this bid, especially with all these iconic stadia like Stamford Bridge getting a facelift! It's about time we see some major investment in football facilities in the UK. The fact that there are now 15 cities and 22 potential stadiums on board is insane! And let's not forget how much this will boost local economies, it's gonna be a total game-changer for British businesses. I'm loving how the FA is making a big deal about involving clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea in the bid too, those stadiums would look incredible with some renovation magic 😍
