Windsor Park capacity to rise for 2035 Women's World Cup bid

Belfast's Windsor Park is set to be redeveloped to seat 23,750 spectators as part of the successful UK-wide bid to host the 2035 Women's World Cup.

A FIFA report confirms that Windsor Park must undergo upgrades to meet international standards for the tournament, specifically increasing its current capacity from 18,500. The redevelopment plans also include installing a hybrid-grass pitch and modernizing the floodlighting system. The stadium is one of 19 venues selected across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales for the joint bid. As the only proposal submitted, the hosting plan is expected to be finalized by FIFA in late November.
