SCOTLAND has been given the green light to welcome the football world to Hampden in 2035 as co-hosts of a UK-wide Women's World Cup. We told you the national football governing body joined up with Football Associations of England, Northern Ireland, and Wales with an offer to stage games in the the Women's World Cup 2035. And now Fifa supremo Gianni Infantino has revealed that the bid has been successful - because no other countries followed through with a bid. The deadline for initial submissions came earlier this week on Monday afternoon - and while the UK lodged their interest on time, rival nations did not. Spain, Portugal and Morocco had previously expressed a desire to host on a joint basis, but all three countries withdrew from the running. FIFA chief Gianni Infantino has described the UK's interest as the "one valid bid" for the event. Speaking at a UEFA congress on Thursday morning, Infantino said: "I can also confirm that, as part of the bidding process, we received one bid for 2031 and one valid bid for 2035. "The 2031 bid is from the United States of America and potentially some other Concacaf members together. "And the 2035 bid is from Europe, from the home nations." Maxwell said: "Being part of a UK bid to host the FIFA Women’s World Cup will provide a memorable global spectacle for fans of all ages. "As well as having the eyes of the world on the sport’s biggest tournament, it will allow our fans to experience the magic of a Women’s World Cup on our doorstep, ideally with the Scotland Women’s National team taking centre stage at Hampden Park."
