UK Wins 2035 Women's World Cup Bid
The UK and Ireland have won the bid to host the 2035 Women's FIFA World Cup.
This is a big deal because it will be the largest single-sport event ever held in the UK, with 4.5 million tickets available.
Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United, might be one of the venues, but it won't be ready for Euro 2028 because it's being renovated.
Other venues like Wembley Stadium in London and the Principality Stadium in Wales will host Euro 2028 matches.
The leaders of the football associations from England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are excited about this opportunity to grow the women's and girls' game both locally and globally.
