London, United kingdom: UK football chiefs on Friday unveiled details of their unopposed joint bid to host the Women's World Cup in 2035, with 22 proposed stadiums listed in the official submission.
The bid team said the 48-nation finals would be the biggest single-sport event ever staged in the UK.
It would be the first World Cup played on British soil since the men's finals in 1966, which were solely hosted by England.
"With 63 million people living within two hours of a proposed venue, it would be the most accessible tournament ever," the bid team said in a statement.
Sixteen of the stadiums on the shortlist are in England -- including Manchester United's proposed new 100,000-seater arena -- with three in Wales, two in Scotland and one in Northern Ireland, across 15 cities.
