BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — The United States and the United Kingdom look set to be picked by FIFA on Thursday as hosts of Women's World Cups expanded to 48 teams from 32.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino told European soccer officials the governing body received one expression of interest to host the 2031 edition — from the U.S. with the possibility of other countries in the CONCACAF region joining the project. That would likely include Mexico.
Infantino also said FIFA has just one “valid bid” to host the 2035 edition, from the British member federations centered on England.
