The United Kingdom is set to host the 2035 Women’s World Cup after being the only valid bid received by Fifa, the organisation that runs international football.

Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland put forward a joint bid in March.

Fifa has already stated that the tournament must be in Europe or Africa.

There was a suggestion that Spain alongside Portugal and Morocco might be putting a bid forward, but Fifa president Gianni Infantino said the UK’s was the only valid one received.
