In his interview with ITV ahead of the tournament, Hutchinson spoke of his excitement at covering different nations across the tournament.
“I always think it’s the event itself. Every time there is a major tournament, I always feel they are my favourite thing to cover.
“It’s about nations, it’s about cultures, everybody coming together for what is a festival of football essentially. Sometimes you have people who do not generally watch football in the year, but they will watch games in major tournaments.”
Hutchinson also reflected on the importance of tournament football for younger generations in terms of geographical education.
“I remember when I was younger, it taught me a lot about geography and different nations around the world, and this is no different. Every tournament in the women’s game, it feels like it gets bigger and better.”
