Among the 22 stadiums shortlisted include Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium and Manchester United's proposed 100,000-seater stadium, despite there being no official start date for when construction will begin.
Two North West stadiums have been shortlisted to host matches during the 2035 Women's World Cup.
A joint bid from The FA, Irish FA, Scottish FA, and the FA of Wales was launched unopposed on Friday 28 November, which would see the tournament take place across 16 stadiums in all four countries.
Among the 22 stadiums shortlisted include Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium and Manchester United's proposed 100,000-seater stadium, despite there being no official start date for when construction will begin.
Liverpool City Council say the tournament would help "deliver long-term social and economic benefits to our region" and shine a light on "what makes Liverpool great."
Cllr Liam Robinson, Leader of Liverpool City Council, said: "We’re delighted to be part of this historic bid to stage the biggest single-sport event in UK history.
“This tournament will extend beyond the pitch as we will develop a wider programme involving the whole city and wider Liverpool City Region. The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2035 would leave a lasting legacy – boosting our economy, growing the women’s game, uniting communities, and proving football is for everyone.”
The Hill Dickinson Stadium is already due to host five matches during the 2028 Euros, along with Manchester City's Etihad Stadium.
Trafford Council estimates host cities will see £207 million spent in their local economies, and also receive a major tourism boost during the tournament.
Cllr Eve Parker, Trafford Council’s Executive Member for Leisure, Arts, Culture and Heritage, said: “There are huge benefits associated with being a host city for this event including promoting Trafford on a world stage to millions and millions of people.
"The Council will work with FIFA and our local partners, including Manchester United, to help bring this major event to the borough.”
Collette Roche, Manchester United’s Chief Operating Officer, said: “We are proud to be part of the rich sporting and cultural fabric of Trafford, and the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2035 is a brilliant opportunity for us to showcase our home to the rest of the world.
“Our ambition is to build a new 100,000-seater stadium fit to host the biggest international football games. This will be part of a wider regeneration of the area around Old Trafford, with far-reaching benefits for the local community, Greater Manchester and the surrounding region."
An announcement on the final 16 stadiums is expected in April 2026.
A joint statement from the CEOs of The FA, Irish FA, Scottish FA and FA of Wales: "Hosting the FIFA Women's World Cup would be a huge privilege for our four home nations.
"If we are successful, the 2035 tournament will be the biggest single-sport event held on UK soil with 4.5 million tickets available for fans.
"We are proud of the growth that we've driven in recent years across the women's and girls' game, but there is still so much more growth to come, and this event will play a key role in helping us deliver that.
"Working together with FIFA, a Women's World Cup in the UK has the power to turbo charge the women's and girls' game both in the UK and globally. Our bid also demonstrates our commitment to leaving a lasting legacy, in the run up to 2035, and the years afterwards."
Four and a half million tickets are set to be made available for the tournament, which will follow on from the successful hosting by England of the Women’s Euro in 2022.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: “Our bid to host the 2035 FIFA Women’s World Cup shows the UK’s passion for football.
“The Lionesses’ success has inspired girls across our country, and we’ll build on that momentum by welcoming millions of football fans from around the world to a tournament that will benefit communities and businesses in host cities up and down the UK.
“With significant investment in school sport and grassroots facilities through our Plan for Change, we’re creating opportunities for girls to play for their national team.”
