BRUM VYING TO HOST 2035 WOMEN'S CONTEST
BIRMINGHAM City Council has vowed to learn lessons from the Commonwealth Games amid a bid to host the 2035 Women's Football World Cup.
The Labour-run council decided to proceed with plans to bid to become a host city for the event.
The tournament is to be held in the UK after Fifa president Gianni Infantino confirmed it was the sole “valid” bidder.
The council said hosting it could provide a £100 million economic boost, as well as jobs, a legacy for sport and another chance to showcase the city on a global stage.
