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

• Federations have concerns over men’s World Cup model

• FA works with Uefa to freeze ticket prices for Euro 2028

The Football Association and US Soccer Federation have joined forces to lobby Fifa to alter its proposed organisational model for the 2031 and 2035 Women’s World Cups.

Both federations are understood to be seeking more local control after concerns that have arisen over the organisation of this summer’s men’s World Cup, particularly regarding the cost of tickets and financial disputes with some US state and city authorities.
