00:00Good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining us at St. George's Park.

00:06Yeah, I think, of course, we brought a bid in now, and it's not done yet that it's going to the UK,

00:16but it's really exciting, because if you see what it's going to look like,

00:19it's going to be the biggest event worldwide ever, which is really exciting.

00:24And, of course, what we also all experienced at the Women's Game is growing,

00:30and we want to keep pushing, keep going. So, yes, I'm really excited about it.

00:34If I look back to 2022, and obviously it wasn't the UK, it was England,

00:37but the opportunity we had to play in front of a home crowd was incredible,

00:41and I think for the younger generation in the UK to have that opportunity would be really, really special.

00:46And I think to inspire even more young girls and boys to watch women's football and get involved,

00:52I think it's a great opportunity for that.
