A bid for Bristol to be one of the host cities of the 2035 Women’s Football World Cup was backed by city councillors in October.
It comes after Ashton Gate staged four knockout games as part of the Women’s Rugby World Cup in the summer.
Ross Wormald, chief operating officer at Ashton Gate, said: “We are honoured to be included in the UK bid and have worked hard with the city-wide Bristol team to put forward a compelling case for Ashton Gate.”
Councillor Tony Dyer, leader of Bristol City Council, said: “We fully back the bid to bring the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2035 to the UK in what would be one of the most inclusive, welcoming and inspiring events our country has witnessed.”
Fifa will make a decision on the UK’s bid by April 2026.
It will then decide on the final selection of host cities in 2030, with Leeds, Birmingham and Nottingham also in the running.
