Into the Lionesses' den: Leeds bids to host Women's World Cup games
Yorkshire Evening Post
|September 10, 2025
Leeds United is working with the city council to bid for hosting rights for 2035 FIFA Women's World Cup games.
Elland Road is in line for redevelopment under proposals that have been submitted for planning approval this summer.
The plans would take the stadium's capacity from just over 36,000 to around 53,000 with a new West Stand followed by an enhanced North Stand.
England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are set to host the 2035 Women's World Cup and stadiums must meet certain criteria to be considered. Leeds believe their redevelopment plans will make Elland Road a 'leading candidate' to host up to seven international tournament games.
Councillors will be asked to approve the submission of a bid when they meet at Leeds Civic Hall next Wednesday (September 17).
