England's best female soccer player says she wants to bring football home for a 2nd time in 2021 at the Tokyo Olympics

• Lucy Bronze says she hopes she can bring football home again for a second time at the Tokyo Olympics.
• Bronze will play for Team GB this summer in what will be her first ever Games.
• "Really excited," Bronze told Insider. "Everything's just so new and so different."

English soccer star Lucy Bronze says she hopes she can be part of a squad that brings football home for a second time in one summer at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics.

Bronze, who is the reigning Best FIFA Women's Player, will represent Team GB in women's soccer team at this summer's Games.

The Manchester City defender is joined by a number of other superstars in the Team GB squad - including City teammate Steph Houghton, Chelsea's Millie Bright, and Arsenal's Kim Little - making Hege Riise's team one of the favorites to win gold.

It is just the second time in history that Team GB will compete in women's soccer at the Olympics, with its only previous appearance coming at London 2012, and Team GB will look to beat a stacked USWNT to the gold.

"No, not really," Bronze jokingly told Insider when asked if she was looking forward to the Games. "No, of course I am! Really excited.

"We're actually the first GB team to land in Tokyo, so that's kind of exciting. Not many of us have experienced being in a GB football team, there's only ever been one before."

Just five of the 18 members Team GB's women's soccer squad competed at London 2012, with the remaining 13, Bronze included, are set to make their Olympic debuts in Toyko.

"And now we're going to be the first team out in Tokyo, the first GB women's football team to have qualified and have played outside of London," the 29-year-old continued.

"So yeah, it's pretty exciting, everything's just so new and so different because you just part of this bigger team rather than just football, for once."

It's already been a fruitful summer for British soccer.

The England men's national team currently finds itself in the final four of Euro 2020, where it will play Denmark on July 7.

Having already beaten Germany and thumped Ukraine in the knockout stages, Gareth Southgate's team are favorites to win the tie and reach a first ever European championships final.

If it does, the team will play either Italy or Spain on home turf at Wembley Stadium on July 11.

Amid England's success, the hit song "Three Lions" has once again become an anthem across the nation.

"Football's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming," goes in the famous chorus song by comedy duo David Baddiel and Frank Skinner, referencing the fact that England is widely known as the birthplace of football.

Bronze says she hopes that Southgate's side aren't the only ones "bringing it home" this year.

"Exactly, a repeat of the summer," she said when asked about the prospect of winning in Tokyo.

Bronze spoke to Insider as part of the launch BT Sport's Hope United. The Manchester City star is one of a number of players to join the cause which aims to tackle online hate ahead through education.
