The presentation team stated that the finals, featuring 48 teams, will be the largest single-sporting event ever held in the United Kingdom. This will be the first World Cup to be played on British soil since the 1966 men's finals, which were hosted by England alone. The team added in a statement: "With 63 million people living within two hours of any proposed stadium, the tournament will be the most accessible in history." Yesterday, British football officials revealed details of their joint unified bid to host the 2035 FIFA Women's World Cup, including a list of 22 proposed stadiums in the official bid document.
