FA and US Soccer seek more control from Fifa over Women’s World Cups

The Football Association and US Soccer Federation have joined forces to lobby Fifa for more local control over the organisation of the 2031 and 2035 Women's World Cups. Their concerns stem from issues surrounding this summer's men's World Cup, including high ticket prices and financial disputes between Fifa and some US state and city authorities. The two federations are pushing for an altered organisational model that gives host nations greater autonomy.
