The United States is set to host the 2031 Women's World Cup, as the lone bidder for the tournament, FIFA president Gianni Infantino said Thursday at the UEFA Congress in Belgrade.

ESPN's Emily Keogh noted Thursday that FIFA president Gianni Infantino said the United States is in line to host the 2031 event. What's more, the United Kingdom will host the tournament in 2035 thanks to a joint bid from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

As host cities implore the government for federal funding for protections, safety is a serious concern for the World Cup

As the United States prepares to welcome the world for FIFA's Club World Cup this June, golf's Ryder Cup in September, the World Cup next year and the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028, the question becomes: Will the world want to come.

Sarina Wiegman has said the UK's likely hosting of the 2035 World Cup is "incredible" and will provide "another boost" to the women's game.

Gianni Infantino told European soccer officials that the lone bid to host the 2031 event was from the United States.
