Team GB coach Hope Powell says that she would "love" to see Great Britain enter a women's football side at the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.

Team GB coach Hope Powell has said that she would "love" to see Great Britain enter a women's football side at the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.

Powell's side, who lost 2-0 to Canada in the quarter-finals of London 2012 last night, were the first female GB team to ever compete at an Olympics.

She said: "For myself and the players this has been an incredible experience and, if we get the opportunity again, I would give it the thumbs up.

"I am not a decision-maker but, if it is just the women's team that get the chance to go into the next Olympics, I would take it.

"Our girls have learnt so much from this this tournament and you can only improve from such experiences. I would love GB to be part of it again."

Team GB's men play South Korea in Cardiff later today.
