The United Kingdom has formally submitted a joint bid to host the 2035 FIFA Women's World Cup, marking an ambitious effort by England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to bring the world's largest women's sporting event to British soil. The tournament would represent the first World Cup held in the UK since the historic 1966 men's finals and is positioned as the largest single sport event ever staged in the country. The bid proposes twenty two stadiums across sixteen host cities, with sixteen venues in England, three in Wales, two in Scotland and one in Northern Ireland. With forty eight teams and one hundred and four matches projected, the scale reflects the rapidly growing global interest in women's football.

For the first time in World Cup history, the top four seeded countries will not be able to meet each other until the semi-finals of the tournament. FIFA has announced that Spain, the first seed, and Argentina, the second, will be paired and placed into groups in opposite halves of the draw. France, seeded third, and England, fourth, will also be paired. This arrangement ensures that England will not face Spain or Argentina until the semi-finals and will not meet France until the final, provided all four countries win their respective groups.

Chelsea produced a commanding Champions League display with a 3-0 victory over Barcelona, delivering a performance reminiscent of the club's strongest European campaigns. The London side controlled play from the outset, combining sharp passing, tactical discipline, and relentless pressure that exposed Barcelona's defensive vulnerabilities. The match began with early drama as Chelsea had two goals disallowed, yet their dominance continued to grow. Barcelona struggled to maintain possession and appeared far removed from the composed and incisive teams of earlier eras, managing only brief spells of control and creating few meaningful opportunities.
