The Football Association has pulled out of the running to host the 2019 Women's World Cup.
The FA had registered an expression of interest with FIFA but has now dropped its bid.
A statement from English football’s governing body said: "The FA can confirm that it will not be progressing its initial interest in hosting either the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2019, or the Under-20 Women's World Cup in 2018.
"Expressions of interest were lodged to gain a wider understanding of the bidding process, the benefits associated to the tournament and the competition to host the tournaments.
“Having assessed all of these factors The FA will not be furthering its interest in these competitions at this time.
"The FA remains committed to growing women's football and continues to invest in the game domestically both at the elite and grassroots level."
France, South Korea, New Zealand and South Africa are the other countries bidding to host the tournament.
