New Old Trafford due on FA stadium list for 2035 Women's World Cup
The Guardian
|November 27, 2025
The Football Association is planning to include a redeveloped Old Trafford in the UK’s bid book of stadiums to host matches at the 2035 Women’s World Cup.
The plans will be made public this week.Old Trafford is in line to feature in the bid even though Manchester United’s plans for a new 100,000-seat stadium amount only to artists’ impressions and there are doubts over how the projected £2bn project will be funded.
Old Trafford was overlooked for the 2028 men’s European Championship because of its dated facilities and possible future redevelopment.
The UK is the sole bidder for the 2035 World Cup, with the United States earmarked to host in 2031 with Mexico, Costa Rica and Jamaica, but must submit a formal bid for Fifa’s approval.
