Raelene Castle: Group Chief Executive of Sport New Zealand on the impact of the Women's FIFA World Cup

The FIFA Women's World Cup has been an absolute feast of sport, culminating in Spain winning its first ever Women's World Cup, last night in Sydney.

It was a triumph for not just 'women's sport’ but sport in general.

Almost 2 million people attended 64 matches across nine host cities.

In Australia, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised $200 million to improve sporting facilities and equipment specifically for women and girls, following the history-making performance of the Matildas.

How will the World Cup's success translate here in New Zealand?

Kerre Woodham was joined by Group Chief Executive of Sport New Zealand, Raelene Castle, to discuss what the impact may be.
