While the U.S. have already hosted the tournament twice, 2035 would be the first Women's World Cup to be held in the UK. The Lionesses won their last home tournament -- Euro 2022 -- and will back themselves to do it again. Sarina Wiegman, who oversaw that Euros triumph, said that she won't be in the dugout in 2035. But some of her players could be.

The United States is all but assured of playing host to the 2031 women’s World Cup following FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s announcement Thursday that no other bids were submitted by this week’s deadline.

The United States and the United Kingdom look set to be picked by FIFA next year as hosts of Women’s World Cups in 2031 and 2035.
