A statement from The Duke of Cambridge on the Women's World Cup Quarter-final

We knew Vichai as a man who cared deeply about his family and also his community..

I have seen on many occasions the power of football to unite communities...

We owe it to the history of the game to maintain the FA's global standing. To do so, we must seek to set a world standard in the way we conduct our business

I feel we need to ensure that we become the gold standard of sporting governance.

Football, then as now, had the power to bring people together and break down barriers.

With the stroke of a pen and 13 rules, Saturday afternoons were never the same again.

I cannot tell you how excited I am that later today we will be playing football on my grandmother’s lawn.

What unites us all as 53 different nations is our love of a game that crosses boundaries.

Glasgow is a city with a great buzz and enormous optimism.

It will be far more than just a world class facility for training our future world-beating national team.

We will witness an exceptional moment in our Island History.

My father, The Prince of Wales, and my brother, Harry, were as green as that grass outside when I told them I'd be here today.

Here, in the crucible of Canadian nationhood, we look forward to meeting many of you.

Votre réputation est aussi forte que légendaire.

Nous attendons avec impatience cet aventure.

To be here on Canada Day - a day of unity, a day of coming together as families, and as a nation - is even more special for us. ‬‪

Truly a FIFA World Cup for the world.
