    An article from Fifa.com:

    At the entrance to the headquarters of the Royal Netherlands Football Association (KNVB), in the forest of Zeist near Utrecht, two things catch the eye. The first is a giant football on the grass; the second and most prominent is a huge sign covering the front of the main building, the ‘centre circle of Dutch football’ as the people here call it.

    On the canvas, there is no Sneijder, Robben or Klaassen, instead there is a group of women celebrating, accompanied by the words Geniet komende zomer van het EK in Nederland (Enjoy this summer with the Women’s EURO in the Netherlands). Starting on 16 July, the Oranje Leeuwinnen (Lionesses), as the women’s team is nicknamed, will take part in their third EURO, this time on home soil. It brings back memories for some, especially Pierre van Hooijdonk, the former Netherlands international (46 caps) and an ambassador for this summer’s event.
