FIFA President, Gianni Infantino

The United States is on track to host the 2031 Women’s World Cup, FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced on Thursday.

Infantino also confirmed that the 2035 global soccer competition is expected to take place in the United Kingdom.

The US submitted the only bid for 2031, while the joint bid from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland was the only “valid” bid for 2035, Infantino told the Uefa Congress in Belgrade, Serbia.

“The path is there for the Women’s World Cup to be taking place in ‘31 and ‘35 in some great countries and some great nations to boost even more the women’s football movement,” Infantino said.
