AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Netherlands coach Sarina Wiegman wants her team to use a potentially record-breaking crowd and a tough opponent in their final warm-up match as the right motivation for success at the women’s World Cup.

The Netherlands host Australia at the Philips Stadium in Eindhoven on Saturday in their last warm-up before they head to France to play at the World Cup and are just a few hundred tickets away from setting a new record for attendance at women’s international in the country.

“That’s a lot of spectators and something we are not used to,” said Wiegman. “We’ve got to use it and make a good day of it for us.”
