The United States will be the host nation for the 2031 Women's World Cup, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said on Thursday.

Infantino also announced that the 2035 global soccer competition will take place in the United Kingdom.

The U.S. submitted the only bid for 2031, while the joint bid from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland was the only "valid" bid for 2035, Infantino told the UEFA Congress in Belgrade, Serbia.

FIFA president Gianni Infantino is building the hype around next year’s World Cup promising that the tournament will be equivalent to “104 Super Bowls” in a month.

The expanded 48-team tournament will be the biggest World Cup in history. In the previous 32-team editions there were a total of 64 games played. In 2026 there will be 104 different games played in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Infantino appeared on “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” and explained how the viewership numbers of the World Cup will be that of “104 Super Bowls.”

The top-ranked United States women's national soccer team will face long-time rivals Canada in Washington, D.C. for the Continental Clasico on July 2.

The Olympic champions have played Canada more than any other opponents and beat them in a penalty shootout in both of their previous two meetings last year, the CONCACAF W Gold Cup semi-final and the SheBelieves Cup championship match.

The meeting, the 67th between the two teams, will close out a three-match window for the United States, who are also playing Ireland in a pair of friendlies in late June.

MANCHESTER — The winners of this year's 32-team Club World Cup to be held in the U.S. will earn up to $125 million, FIFA said on Wednesday.

World soccer's governing body had announced earlier this month a total prize pot of $1 billion for the June 14-July 13 event, significant in the current climate of financial regulation for clubs.
