At that time, we hadn’t brought the trophy home, but today it’s a great honour for us to present to you the trophy we’ve been working hard for all these years. You’ve doubled our happiness today, and it truly means a lot to us. Our aim now is that in the future, we continue to meet you again and again and keep taking pictures with you and the team."

The players will soon return to their respective hometowns to celebrate the World Cup success.
