PARIS, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- FIFA announced on Thursday that Women's World Cup winning coach Jill Ellis will present her view on the USA's road to glory at the FIFA's first ever Football Conference to analyze the tournament in late September.

According to FIFA, over 100 member associations have already confirmed their attendance at the FIFA's Football Conference to take place on September 22 in Milan.

Ellis will present her view during the "Tribute to the World Champions".

"France 2019 was such a wonderful, global celebration of women's football. Holding a post-Women's World Cup conference is an excellent way to summarize and capture the development and sheer growth of our sport," said Ellis.

"It will be a privilege to share and discuss with my colleagues some of my experiences from that journey through the tournament," she added.

Coaches including FIFA Women's World Cup finalist Sarina Wiegman, England's Phil Neville and China's Jia Xiuquan, as well as women's football experts from all six confederations are expected to attend the conference.

The program of the conference comprises an analysis of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2019 from a technical, tactical and physical point of view, discussions on the main footballing trends in comparison to previous editions of the tournament, the presentation of the FIFA Technical Study Group report, and podium discussions with coaches from the six confederations.

"The very positive response from our member associations confirms the great interest in the development of women's football from a technical perspective. France 2019 set a new benchmark in women's football and will serve as an inspiration across our member associations," Branimir Ujevic, FIFA's Head of Coaching & Player Development and the Project Lead for the Technical Study Group in France, pointed out.
