UK looks set to host 2035 Women's World Cup

FIFA

The United Kingdom appears certain to host the 2035 Women's World Cup after FIFA President Gianni Infantino described its interest as the "one valid bid" for the tournament.

England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales announced last month they would submit a joint bid to host the finals.

Morocco, Spain and Portugal had been in the running.

"We received one bid for 2031 and one bid -- one valid bid I should add -- for 2035," he said at the UEFA Congress in Belgrade on Thursday. "The 2035 bid is from Europe, from the home nations."

Brazil will host the 2027 event.
