Women's World Cup 2035: UK nations to submit joint bid to host
The Football Associations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales have said they intend to submit a joint bid to host the 2035 Women's World Cup.It follows a decision by Fifa, the organisation that runs international football, to recommend that the 2035 tournament is hosted in Europe or Africa. Fifa will decide who will host the 2031 and 2035 World Cups in 2026. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said if it was successful it would be a "monumental moment in our nation's sporting history".
Brazil was named as the host of the 2027 Women's World Cup in May last year beating a joint bid from Belgium, Netherlands and Germany.A planned joint bid for the 2031 FIFA Women's World Cup from the United States and Mexico is expected only to face competition from Africa as Fifa has already ruled Europe out of the running. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the bid would have the UK government's full support. "Football is and always will be at the core of our country's identity," he said."That pride was on full display when England hosted the Women's Euro 2022. It not only showed the best of our nation to the world but inspired a generation of girls into the game."While England hosted a men's World Cup in 1966, the UK has never hosted the women's tournament.

Thomas Tuchel feels Club World Cup absence gives Liverpool and Arsenal advantage
The England head coach is trying to stay relaxed about any potential impact FIFA's new competition, which starts on Saturday, will have on his players, and his stated ambition to put a second star on the England shirt by winning next summer's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. However, the German is convinced the tournament will be pivotal for who wins the English league title next year, and will put the more rested Reds and Gunners in pole position. 'I think (the Club World Cup) will have a huge impact and it will give Liverpool and Arsenal a huge advantage in the next season to not be there,' Tuchel said. 'I think it will be a very nice experience for the players who are there to play this tournament for the first time, so I have mixed feelings about it. 'I decided not to worry too much, because why should I? It is a given, and no-one knows what will be the outcome of it or the effect. 'We will deal with the effect when the effect comes and let's see.' Nine of Tuchel's group for last Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Andorra and Tuesday night's friendly against Senegal are heading to the Club World Cup, but he insisted: 'There is not one player who says 'by the way, I would like to be on the bench and save myself for the Club World Cup'. They are hungry to play. 'The games are not the problem, it is just the amount of time that it occupies from the players, and they need a proper rest somewhere in this calendar which they hardly get.' One of those nine is Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane, who is set to captain England again at the City Ground in Nottingham. Twenty-four members of the squad trained at St George's Park on Monday, with Jude Bellingham absent due to his attendance at a family funeral. He was due to return to the camp later in the day.
