According to the technical director of the Saudi Arabia national women's squad, Monika Staab, the country wants to host the 2035 Women's World Cup.Could face England competition for bidSaudi Arabia has already made an official proposal to host the 2034 men's World Cup, and Staab thinks that Saudi aspirations can also include hosting the 2035 Women's World Cup. Any Saudi candidature may have to compete with England for the chance to host the 2035 finals.
The Football Association were thinking about making a bid for the 2031 competition, chair Debbie Hewitt said to The Times in May. However, due to the continental hosting cycle, the FA would have to consider delaying until 2035 if the Germany-Netherlands-Belgium bid for 2027 is successful."It takes time to go to the World Cup,” former QPR women’s player Staab told the Leaders in Sport conference in London on Thursday.
“We have many good international players. This will improve the level of the Saudi level. In Saudi, women are respected, they are equal. I hope the perception of Saudi can change.”As many of its stars — unlike in the men's game — are quite upfront about their sexuality, Saudi Arabia's criminalization of same-sex relationships might potentially be a significant obstacle to hosting a Women's World Cup there.
