The England women's football team have made their first public appearance since their 4-0 Euro 2022 semi-final win over Sweden.

The Lionesses gave a jubilant wave as they appeared outside their London hotel following the match that put them into the final.

"We want to inspire the nation. I think that's what we're doing," said head coach Sarina Wiegman, who will lead her players out at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

"And we want to make a difference, so we hope that we got everyone so enthusiastic and that at the end the whole country is proud of us and that even more girls and boys will start playing football."
