England’s success on a global stage has led to increased support, growing viewing figures and record attendances in the past year.
Manager Sarina Wiegman said it is “incredible what happens” when they do well at major tournaments.
“We have felt support here but also from the other side of the world in the UK. That is something that you dream of,” said Wiegman.
“We just hope we play our best game ever and that everyone who is watching in the stadium and in the UK also, can support us and enjoy it.
“It’s really exciting and of course we are really eager to win it. This shows how football unites. It brings people together. When you go so far in the tournament people get excited. It’s very special. It’s so much more than just playing football.”
Bright also reflected on how far the game has come and how the Lionesses have bounced back from a ban which started in 1921 and lasted almost 50 years where women were prevented from playing football in England.
“It shows our [mental] strength. We never want that to happen again. We have been very open about that and we wouldn’t let that happen again,” said Bright.
“To know we’re in a World Cup final is incredible. We don’t want to stop here and we’re always pushing for more.”
