Windsor Park in Belfast is set for redevelopment to accommodate the 2035 Women's World Cup, with plans to increase its capacity from 18,500 to 23,750. This upgrade is part of a joint bid by the FA, IFA, SFA, and FAW, which is the sole proposal for hosting the tournament and is expected to be approved by FIFA on November 23.

The redevelopment will also include enhancements such as a hybrid grass system and improved floodlighting. Windsor Park is one of 19 stadiums nominated for the tournament, which will feature an expanded format with 48 teams.
