To see the FIFA delegation in Brisbane...

 

Roar A-League players were joined by the club's W-league and National Youth League players to put on a training exhibition for the FIFA delegation at Suncorp Stadium.

Skipper Matt McKay said it was a privilege to showcase Australia's domestic football credentials as the nation pushes its bid to host the biggest sporting event in the world.

"A FIFA World Cup is bigger than the Olympics and it would be fantastic to have one played here in Australia," McKay said.

"It would see an enormous boost to our sporting infrastructure and the feeling a World Cup would create would be enormous."

Brisbane Roar defender Elise Kellond-Knight said a successful bid would be a massive boost for football in Australia.

"The focus it would bring to football in this country would see the see the game continue to grow and it would be great for the men's game but also women's football and for the youth leagues as well," she said.

Kellond-Knight and fellow Matilda Brooke Spence met the delegation and gave an insight into the national team's recent AFC Women's Asian Cup win in China.

Australia is the third stop on tour of the nine countries that are bidding to host the 2018 or 2022 FIFA World Cup tournaments and today is day two of a three-day visit.
