卡梅伦首相寄语征战女足世界杯的英格兰国家女子足球队

David Cameron’s Message for England Women’s Football Team

9 June 2015

On behalf of the whole country, I want to wish the England women’s football team and their coach Mark Sampson the best of luck at the World Cup in Canada.

In recent days, with FIFA, we have seen the very worst of football, but with you, we will see the very best.

From the FA Women’s Super League to the record-breaking crowds at Wembley for that historic game against Germany last November, women’s football is growing in our country.

And you are the role models for so many women and girls who are taking up football in schools and clubs right across our country.

I’m delighted that for the first time, every match of this World Cup will be shown live on the BBC, and I hope we will see more and more people tuning in to follow your progress and support the women’s game.

I know you have some tough matches ahead, but with ten wins out of ten in qualifying, I hope you will go there with every confidence.

The whole country is right behind you and we’re wishing you every success.
