Taken at Mt Cook National Park at Aoraki on the South IslandAdvertisementNew Zealand is famed for its breathtaking scenery - and a recent promotional video ahead of the Women's World Cup hasn't disappointed. Girls from Timaru's West End AFC, Twizel Area School and Arowhenua School took part in the match of a lifetime, which was refereed by New Zealand Football national referee development manager Lindsey Robinson. Tourism New Zealand chief executive René de Monchy said the FIFA Women's World Cup was a 'significant opportunity' to promote Aotearoa as a destination to an international audience. Star New Zealand midfielder Emma Rolston made her way to Mt Cook National Park to see the girls in action - and labelled it 'the most beautiful place on Earth.' 'We are going to be the best host country for the World Cup ­because we have so much to offer,' she said.
