"It will be the greenest World Cup ever with an environment protection plan the world has never seen before," said [Ruud] Gullit, who is president of the bid.
"The games will be played in 14 truly green stadiums. The compactness of our countries is a great asset, due to the short distance the next game is never far away and we will offer the fans a network of free public transport and 2 million free bikes.
"In the Low Countries, everyone can go to the stadiums by bike, just like we arrived this morning."
