We might just get the whole World Cup here in 2035, a huge deal for women’s football. Glasgow and Edinburgh are right in the middle of the plan. It’s a United Kingdom bid, all of us together trying to host. Hampden Park in Glasgow and Easter Road down in Edinburgh are on the list of places to play. Honestly, the idea of so many games happening across 15 different cities is incredible to me.
The official ask was sent to FIFA just on Friday for the bigger 48-team finals. There isn’t anyone else even trying to get it, which is a massive plus for us. So the UK looks really good to win this and have the Women’s World Cup for the first time ever.
Most of the stadiums they’re talking about are over in England, to be fair. Sixteen are there, then three more in Wales, ours two in Scotland, and one up in Northern Ireland. I think of cities like London and Manchester being involved, it just feels big.
It would change everything for girls who want to play, I’m sure of it. This is about more than just a tournament happening here. It’s about making things better for a long time and showing what we can all do. Our football history is something we’re really proud of, and the women’s game is getting so much bigger now. The whole thing feels like a huge, important step we’re absolutely ready for.
The government is fully behind it too, which helps a lot. I really want a generation of young women to see this and feel inspired to play themselves. Getting more people active and making sport more equal seems like a good goal to have.
Hampden’s obviously great for big events, everyone knows that. And Easter Road, while smaller, has its own brilliant kind of feeling and they’ve made it really nice. This solo bid is such a chance to make women’s football even more popular than it is. It brings money, sure, but also it pushes for everyone feeling included in the sport. We won’t know if we got it until 2027, I think. The excitement is already building, you can just tell.
For the Scottish FA, this bid is a key part of what they see for the future. Getting it would mean so much new investment and help, making sure the game keeps growing at every level. The promise is a legacy that lasts, inspiring people for a long, long time.

The money coming in from visitors would be a real boost for local shops and cafes, you can feel that potential. It’s not only about the football itself but all the little businesses around it that would benefit. I imagine the streets being full with fans from all over, which is a wonderful thought to have.
They’re also talking a lot about making the tournament really green, which seems important now. Like using electric buses for teams and having less waste in all the stadiums. It feels good to think a huge event could also try and be kind to the environment.

And for fans coming here, the experience of being in these historic cities is itself a big part of the draw. The plan includes fan zones with big screens and activities, making a real festival feeling everywhere. It should be about creating those memories that lasts forever for everyone who comes.
