LONDON, March 5 (Xinhua) -- The four football associations of the United Kingdom are planning a joint bid to host the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2035.
The Football Association of England on Wednesday said it would submit an expression of interest to FIFA together with the football associations of Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales to jointly host the tournament.
The bid comes after the FIFA Council on Wednesday recommended that the 2035 Women's World Cup be hosted in Europe or Africa.
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed that the intention to bid had his government's full support.
"Football is and always will be at the core of our country's identity. Whether we watch on TV, play at the weekends like I do, or simply enjoy soaking up the atmosphere in the pub, it brings communities together like little else," read a statement from Starmer.
England held the UEFA Women's Euro 2022, and the men's Euro 2028 will take place in the UK and Ireland.
Bids for the 2031 and 2035 Women's World Cups will be submitted during the fourth quarter of 2025, with a decision on both tournaments anticipated to take place during the second quarter of 2026.
