The Football Association (FA) in England and the US Soccer Federation are collaborating to lobby FIFA for increased local control over the upcoming 2031 and 2035 Women’s World Cups. This initiative follows dissatisfaction with FIFA's management of the recent men's World Cup, particularly regarding exorbitant ticket prices and financial disputes with local authorities. The FA and US Soccer are the only bidders for these tournaments, with FIFA set to make a decision in November. The US bid will include matches in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Jamaica, while the FA leads a joint bid with Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. FIFA's new operational model, which centralizes control over ticket sales and sponsorship, has caused tensions with host cities, especially regarding costs associated with safety and transportation. For instance, New Jersey's governor criticized FIFA for not contributing to transportation expenses, leading to public outrage over high ticket prices, which can reach $10,990 (£8,100) for the final. The FA hopes to reinstate a local organizing committee model similar to UEFA's for better management of the Women’s World Cup, advocating for lower ticket prices and a more localized approach to tournament organization.
