FA CEO Mark Bullingham reflects on Sunday's World Cup Final result in Sydney

Tonight didn’t go our way, but to reach our first World Cup Final since 1966, and our first ever away from home is a huge achievement.

Everyone is hurting this evening, but we are so proud of the Lionesses, Sarina and the whole support team.

We thank them all for everything they have delivered in these very special few weeks.

We send our congratulations to Spain and we would also like to thank England fans here in Sydney, at home, and all over the world for their fantastic support.

Australia and New Zealand have hosted a wonderful World Cup which will live long in the memory and has showcased everything which is special about the women’s game.
