Nadia Nadim is a former Manchester City and PSG player who represented Denmark at Women's Euro 2022 in England.

The 2022 World Cup will be Nadim's second tournament as a pundit on British television, following her appearances at Euro 2020 on the channel. The 34-year-old can speak nine languages and currently plays for Kentucky-based Racing Louisville.
Nigel de Jong has over 80 caps with the Netherlands national team and has had spells at the likes of Manchester City, AC Milan, Hamburg and LA Galaxy. He played in the final of the 2010 World Cup and was on the losing side, as Spain won the trophy.
De Jong has appeared on ITV's international football coverage in the past and has leant his punditry skills to Amazon Prime, too.
The broadcasting of the World Cup fixtures are being split between BBC and ITV in the UK, with Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and Alex Scott among the BBC pundits.
