The deadline for submissions came earlier this week on Monday afternoon.

And while the UK lodged their bid on time, rival nations did not.

Therefore, there was no real competition for the 2035 tournament.

FIFA chief Gianni Infantino has described the UK’s interest as the “one valid bid” for the event.

Spain, Portugal and Morocco had previously expressed a desire to host on a joint basis, but all three countries withdrew from the running.
