Hibernian's Easter Road is one of 22 venues included in the the UK's bid to host the 2035 Women's World Cup.

Hampden Park in Glasgow is the only other Scottish stadium listed.

Edinburgh and Glasgow are two of the 16 host cities across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The UK's joint bid stands unopposed and could be ratified by a vote in a Fifa congress in 2026.

Easter Road hosted Scotland women's win over Hungary in the Euro 2025 play-off semi-final play-off second leg in Ocotber last year.

Hibs chairman Ian Gordon said: "We are delighted to be part of the UK's exciting bid to host the 2035 Fifa Women's World Cup.

"Since my family and I became majority shareholders in Hibernian FC we have been extremely passionate about the development of women's football.

"As a club we have made huge strides over the last few years and have tried to support the Scotland national team at Easter Road whenever opportunities arose.

"We are strongly supporting the bid to host the Women's World Cup and believe a proposal of this kind can leave a lasting legacy on the women's game."
