Ninety-nine days and counting.

The FIFA Women's World Cup is oh so close to begining, co hosted by New Zealand and Australia.

Thousands upon thousands of fans are expected to travel to New Zealand for the tournament.

Teams are finalising their training bases for the showpiece event, with the likes of the World Champion United States basing themselves at Bay City Park in Browns Bay, and Sweden are setting up in Wellington.

World Cup chief operating officer Jane Patterson is going through all the final preparations for the tournament.

She spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
