FIFA president Gianni Infantino has said the United States and the United Kingdom are poised to be named as hosts of the Women's World Cup in 2031 and 2035, respectively.

Infantino told the UEFA Congress in Belgrade on Thursday that the joint bid from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland was the only "valid bid" of interest for the 2035 tournament after the deadline passed, with the United States also putting forward the only bid for the 2031 edition.

"As part of the bidding process, we received one bid for '31 and one bid, valid bid, I should add for '35," he said.
