"Glasgow has the opportunity to be one of the host cities for the Fifa Women's World Cup in 2035, with three stadia capable of meeting the hosting requirements (Hampden, Ibrox and Celtic Park). As the national football stadium, Hampden would be expected to be a first choice to be put forward, though the stadium selection is ultimately a Fifa decision."
"Attracting this high-profile women's sporting event would continue to build the city's vibrant and inclusive events portfolio and further strengthen the city's reputation and profile as a major sports and events city. Building a pipeline of football events would be key to leveraging its success, developing participation and audiences through events and activation in the lead up"
Glasgow has launched a bid to host matches for the 2035 FIFA Women's World Cup, proposing Hampden, Celtic Park and Ibrox as capable stadia. Glasgow councillors have been asked to back the bid and the city administration committee will consider handing delivery responsibility to Glasgow Life. Glasgow City Council has committed £6.2m; the UK government has pledged to cover 60% of costs and the Scottish government 15%. FIFA will decide on the UK's bid by April 2026 and make a final selection of 14–16 host cities in 2030. Glasgow must also propose two central iconic locations for the FIFA Fan Festival. Other cities hoping to host include Leeds, Birmingham and Nottingham.
