Powell: I want GB Team in future Olympics
Great Britain coach Hope Powell wants GB women's football team to be regular at future Olympics Games.
Powell's girls were eliminated from the London 2012 after losing a quarter-final game against Canada on Friday.
Powell said: For me personally and for the players, absolutely.
'If we get the opportunity again I would definitely give it the thumbs up.
'The experience has been an incredible journey.
'I am not the decision maker but my answer would be if we had the opportunity to go into the Olympics - just the women - I would take it," added Powell, who is also coach of the England team.
'There is nothing better than tournament experience and I think our girls will have learnt so much from being part of this.
'Tournament football is not easy and you learn things very quickly. Then the next time you come up in a tournament you remember the things you have learnt.
'We have missed out on those experiences, so if the opportunity to play at the Olympics arose again - just the women - and we could do that, I would love Team GB to be part of that.'
