The Women’s World Cup will be expanded from 32 to 48 teams in time for the 2035 tournament in the United Kingdom, Sky News understands. The decision was taken during a virtual FIFA Council meeting today.

Sky News first reported last year on plans to enlarge the tournament to match the expansion of the men’s tournament. It will take effect from 2031 when the Women’s World Cup is due to be staged in the United States. FIFA still needs to ratify the 2031 and 2035 hosts.

The 2027 tournament in Brazil will remain at 32 teams.

The UK was the sole bidder to host the tournament in 2035. The Football Association’s chief executive Mark Bullingham said in April: «Hosting England’s first FIFA World Cup since 1966, along with our home nations partners, will be very special.»

There are hopes that hosting the tournament at stadiums across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will help grow the popularity of the women’s game in the UK. It comes following England’s success in the Euro 2022 final and 1-0 defeat to Spain in the 2023 World Cup final.

England star Chloe Kelly told Sky News last year: «The Euros here was amazing and a World Cup would be absolutely incredible. I think it’s everyone’s dream, of course… England fans love football and we’re ready to get behind the team. So I think it’s important that we have many celebratory moments together.»

British Airways has suspended its funding of The Louis Theroux Podcast after an interview with Bob Vylan’s frontman caused controversy. In the episode, Pascal Robinson-Foster expressed no remorse for chanting «death, death to the IDF [Israel Defence Forces]» at Glastonbury, stating that he would do it again without hesitation. British Airways cited a breach of their sponsorship policy regarding politically sensitive or controversial topics as the reason for pausing their advertising on the podcast. The airline is investigating how this breach occurred. Following the backlash from Bob Vylan’s performance at Glastonbury, where the band was dropped from various events and had their US tour canceled due to revoked visas, the comments were condemned as «hateful tirade» by the US and «appalling hate speech» by British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. The BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit also found that the broadcast of Bob Vylan’s set violated editorial standards related to harm and offense. Despite the controversy, Bob Vylan has faced pressure to reschedule their upcoming tour dates in Manchester and Leeds, with Jewish leaders and politicians calling for postponement of the shows. The band released a statement on Facebook addressing the rescheduling of the shows due to political pressure. Louis Theroux has not commented on British Airways pausing its sponsorship of his podcast. When asked about the uproar caused by the chant at Glastonbury, Vylan expressed surprise at the reaction, stating that it was not intended to provoke such a response.
